Arthur

Storyline
Bespectacled aardvark Arthur Read demonstrates to kids how to deal with such childhood traumas and challenges as homework, teachers and bullies. He also has to contend with his sisters, but loves playing with his friends: tomboy Francine, foodie and best pal Buster, super smart Brain, rich girl Muffy and geography expert Sue Ellen. Arthur lives with his sisters, D.W. and Kate and parents, Jane and David. Arthur also has a dog named Pal.
