Arthur's TV Trouble (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

When Arthur sees the advertisement for the amazing doggy Treat Timer, he knows it's the perfect gift for Pal. He sets out to earn the money to buy it, daydreaming of riches and of Pal's reaction when he sees the Treat Timer for the first time. Everything seems to be working out, too — until a big gust of wind nearly blows Arthur's dreams of luxury away!

Publishers Weekly

PW described Arthur the aadvark's 19th adventure as "another winning slice-of-life tale." Ages 4-8. (Apr.)

Two things suggest that Arthur, the loveable star of children s books and the PBS series, may not be so fictitious after all: 1) Kids are known to call Marc Brown s house looking for their bespectacled friend and 2) Brown s third grade class picture -- according to many, a dead-ringer for the aardvark himself.
