| ""We have a surprise for you," said mother and father..." (from the first line) Arthur is plainly worried about the new baby expected at his house, but his plucky kid sister, D. W. is delighted. While D. W. learns how to diaper and helps her mother pack for the hospital, Arthur keeps his distance. But one day, when D.W. has to ask for Arthur''s help to keep Baby Kate from crying, he steps in and learns that the new addition to his family isn''t so bad after all. Kids will love reading along as Marc Brown reads this favorite Arthur Adventure.
Annotation:
Arthur the aardvark must deal with the arrival of his second sister, Kate. Arthur is not sure he's ready for another girl in the family, but when baby Kate won't stop crying, it is only Arthur who can comfort her. Color illustrations accompany the text.
