Arthur Goes Back to School DVD
Based on the children’s books by Marc Brown, ARTHUR chronicles the adventures of eight-year-old Arthur through engaging, emotional stories that explore issues faced by real kids. Aimed at viewers four to eight, ARTHUR tells stories from a kid’s point of view, while fostering an interest in reading and writing, and modeling positive social skills. ARTHUR airs weekdays on PBS KIDS(check local listings). Arthur is back in school with his friends again and this DVD has four awesome episodes telling about his day.
Episodes:
To Eat or Not to Eat – Arthur finds out that a new candy bar is in town. Everyone is excited, but suddenly, everyone is acting strangely Buster decides to do a little digging and find out about the strange chemical into these mystery chemicals before he takes his first bite but he-and all the other kids-may not find the truth appetizing.
S.W.E.A.T. – It’s time for the kids at Lakewood Elementary to take the Stoddard-Wilkins Elementary Aptitude Test, or “S.W.E.A.T.” But with anxiety running high, it becomes clear that the kids need to learn some relaxation techniques. Luckily, Mrs. MacGrady is on hand to teach them a thing or two about de-stressing.
Baseball Blues – It’s Grebelings season and George can’t wait to play! After all, no one knows more about baseball than George. But when he realizes knowledge of sinkers doesn’t guarantee success in the field, will he throw in the towel?
Brain’s Biggest Blunder – When Brain gets teamed with Buster and Binky in the annual Arithmattack competition, he immediately enrolls Buster in binomial boot camp. Can Brain transform Buster into a mathematic marvel? Or will he be forced to eat humble pi?
We love Arthur! We’ve been watching Arthur for as long as I can remember. My oldest used to watch it and so did (does) my youngest. Did you know Arthur was the second longest running PBS series behind only to Sesame Street? This Arthur Goes Back to School DVD does not disappoint.

My son used to watch Arthur and loved it, I think my grandson would enjoy this.
My son loves Arthur! He was just watching it last night on the PBS Kids app. I am sure he would love this DVD.
I was looking at the Arthur apps last night too. Such great tools for the kids now and Arthur is still on PBS so if you have no techy gadgets you can still watch!
