Go back to school with Arthur! On the first day of school Arthur discovers he's got the toughest teacher in the third grade! The class homework assignment is to write a story, and everyone seems to be writing about something interesting...except Arthur. After Arthur calls Francine a marshmallow, she refuses to speak to him. Then Mr. Ratburn pairs them up for a homework project. When the new Scare-Your-Pants-Off book arrives, crowds of kids rush over-only to be told that the series has been banned! Arthur is having nightmares about showing up to school in his underwear!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3--These two titles are part of a series of chapter-book novelizations of PBS's Arthur episodes. Even though the covers proclaim "A Marc Brown Arthur" and show a photograph of Brown on the jackets, the books themselves have been written by someone else, and are based on teleplays created by yet other authors. The texts are interspersed with black-and-white illustrations. Arthur and the Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club deals with an unusual theme for primary-grade audiences--censorship. Angry parents have demanded that a series of scary books be banned from the public library because they believe they are frightening their children, and Arthur and his friends decide to fight back. Arthur's Mystery Envelope concerns the young aardvark's curiosity and anxiety when the principal gives him an envelope to take home marked "PRIVATE and CONFIDENTIAL." His desire to be honest is tempered by his fear of negative consequences as he wrestles with the dilemma of whether to deliver the envelope or to "lose" it. The reading level of these books is problematic: the vocabulary exceeds that of average third graders, yet the audience of the Arthur show is usually much younger. They could be used as read-alouds, and would undoubtedly appeal to children who watch the program and to precocious younger readers.

Marc Brown has done a great job with Arthur. Whether it be the cartoon or his books, his works are masterpieces all around. This book is no different. Thanks Marc for doing us parents a huge favor by putting in morals and ethics and the ability to teach them through cartoons and books.

These are great books for young children who love the Arthur cartoon. They are kind of in a comic book style which tends to be more appealing to kids when it comes to choosing a book to read.

　Arthurが校長先生からお母さんへと渡された封筒。「秘密」とはどういうこと？　きっと中身は Arthur にとって困った内容なのでは？と思った時から、苦難が始まります。封筒という悪夢にうなされるまでになってしまうのです。
　それがすごく可笑しいのです。笑ってしまうこと、うけあい。
　子供向きのアニメキャラクタが主人公の物語ですが、大人でも十分楽しめる、心理ものになっていると思います。
