A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K!
Who doesn't know and love Arthur? The third-grade aardvark and his friends and family have been enjoyed in our home for years!
Marc Brown's creation has blossomed from a bedtime story he told his five-year-old 25 years ago, to a series of books, then to chapter books, audio books, an award-winning PBS children's series, and even a spinoff of that series! Check out Arthur, and see what makes him perpetually popular!
Arthur in Our House
My kids have loved Arthur in different ways through different stages of their lives. (They are currently 9 and 11).My son loved Arthur so much as a toddler that he even had an Arthur birthday party when he was two! Back then we only watched the TV show.
As my son Tyler started preschool, we began to read the Arthur books together, and as Tyler entered grade school himself, he began to be able to identify with Arthur.
As Tyler's little sister got older (and more annoying, according to him) he could really identify with Arthur's troubles with his pesky little sister, D.W. (And my daughter began to love the series, too).
In Kindergarten and first grade, before Tyler was able to really read for himself, he loved to listen to the Arthur audio books in bed at night.
In second, third and fourth grade, Tyler noticed that he was going through many of the same things that Arthur and his friends did, and became even more interested in the stories-- even the ones he had heard or seen over and over again. The same happened with my daughter Lauren as she went through elementary school.
Unlike the other shows they loved as preschoolers, Arthur has remained consistently popular in our house for ten years now!

What a great lens! 5 stars and Favored!
D.W. was carried around so much at our house that she eventually fell apart. We read all of the Arthur books over and over until we all knew them by heart.
