This animated series is based on Marc Brown's best-selling books about Arthur Read, an eight-year-old aardvark, his sister D.W., and their family and friends. When Arthur and Muffy both have their birthday parties on the same day, it quickly becomes the boys vs. the girls at school, in "Arthur's Birthday." When Francine gets the lead in the class play, the part goes to her head in "Francine Frensky, Superstar."
