Description:

Rumor has it that Francine is finally going to find a way to kiss Arthur at her birthday party. Arthur is worried, until he is assured that they will not play that spin-the-bottle kissing game. Instead, Francine and Muffy have a devilishly clever plan, and only D.W. and Pal can save Arthur.

Review (From Amazon.Com):

After hearing rumors that Francine is planning to kiss Arthur at her party, Arthur's sister, D.W., saves the day in an unexpected way. Devious Francine tricks Arthur with a kissing game, and Muffy leads him out to the garage to await his fate. D.W., walking by with their dog, Pal, catches on to the plot, and sends Pal through the cat door to warn Arthur with a few sloppy kisses of his own. "Run for your life!" yells D.W., and Arthur does, but not without a pause to snag a big piece of cake for his new bodyguard!

Children are enraptured with Marc Brown's stories of the unique aardvark hero on PBS, as well as in many early reader picture books. And with the entertaining "Step into Reading" sticker book series, there's a bonus--two full pages of peel-off stickers enable kids to practice their reading and writing skills. Certain words in the story are printed in blue ink--young readers are encouraged to find the corresponding sticker picture and place it over the blue word. The second page of stickers illustrates places and themes and allows budding writers to try their hand at creative writing as they make up stories based on the sticker images--in this case, aquarium scenes. Don't miss Arthur's Reading Race or any of Arthur's other "Step into Reading" adventures. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
