Arthur

For some reason, Arthur isn't doing very well in school anymore. Maybe he just needs some glasses? Problem is, Arthur hates having to wear them. And it's school picture day and Muffy is determined that Francine will look her best.

It's the first day of third grade and Arthur's biggest fear has come true--his new teacher is the dreaded Mr. Ratburn. Then, it’s time for the all-school spellathon. Arthur is chosen to compete, and he finds facing Prunella and The Brain!

The Reads are having a wonderful time at the beach, except for D.W. who simply refuses to have fun. Next, Buster and Arthur make a long-awaited field trip to a dinosaur excavation.

Someone only D.W. can see has moved in with the Reads. Her name is Nadine, and she follows D.W. everywhere. Arthur is the first to get the new Scare-Your-Pants-Off book from the library. Unfortunately, he can't figure out where he put it!

How can Arthur prove to his parents that he's responsible enough to take care of his very own puppy? "Get a job," suggests D.W.!. Yet another personality change for D.W., who's decided that from now on, she'll be just like Arthur.

Arthur and Francine are fighting. But when they get locked inside the library they either have to make up or prepare for a long evening. And when Buster opens his detective agency, he has no idea his first job will involve Arthur.
