Arthur is such a worrier. Christmas is coming. and Arthur comes home from school SO worried. The class have been learning about maps and Arthur can see there is a huge distance for Santa to travel from the NORTH POLE to the SOUTH POLE - you need to know Arthur is a penguin so he lives in Antarctica. Dad has the answer and Arthur is able to go to bed and fall asleep feeling a little less worried.
At the end of the term Arthur is given a good school report except for the standard of his writing but here is the new worry. Will Santa be able to read Arthur's Christmas list? Once again Dad has the answer.
Then there is the worry of the weather and worse Arthur worries he might not deserve any presents. Dad is quite sure everything will be okay and yes Christmas morning is perfect.
Please if it is at all possible, as my bedroom is a little untidy ...
could you leave any presents just here.
Love Arthur
PS there is a mince pie in the kitchen for you x
These books about Arthur seem perfect for children who have worries and I also liked the gentle way the author introduces this single parent family. Arthur and his dad have such a special relationship.
There are other books (sadly all out of print) about Arthur:
