Details: Fred Rogers is visiting Mr. Ratburn's class and staying at Arthur's house. Arthur is afraid of telling anyone the latter because he doesn't want to be called a baby. It's not so bad when they find out.

Whether they're facing down the school bully, worrying about a new teacher or babysitting the Terrible Tibble Twins, Arthur, his little sister D.W., and their friends manage to solve their third-grade dilemmas with imagination, kindness and a lot of humour.
