The topic
of this collection of three complete Arthur episodes is
significant for elementary-age children: teasing and
embarrassment. Every child faces teasing in some form
or another, and Arthur's Terrible Teasers offers kids
some creative solutions and support through its fun story
format.
In
Arthur's Underwear, Arthur finds it positively hilarious
when his friend Binky splits his pants so that everyone in
his class sees his underwear. Soon, however, the thought
haunts Arthur, and he has nightmares about the same thing
happening to him.
In
Citizen Frensky, Francine decides to create a tabloid,
filled with sensationalized stories of her friends. It's a
hit, but she must deal with her friends' indignation in the
process. Is all that gossip worth it?
In Stolen
Bike, Francine deals with constant teasing about her old
bike. She's the only one of her friends who doesn't have a
shiny new bike. Her decision to have her bike
"stolen" has its consequences.
