Arthur Rides the Bandwagon (2005)

TV. From PBS, Arthur is a delightful series that continues to resonate with children and the child in all of us. This DVD contains three episodes with a peer-pressure theme: Arthur Rides the Bandwagon (Arthur resists, then considers capitulating to, the latest toy fad), Attack of the Turbo Tibbles (the hyperactive Tibble twins go overboard with play-acting a Power Rangers-like show), and Prunella's Special Edition (superfan Prunella has a problem with her special edition of a Harry Potter-like book everyone else is consumed with reading). Arthur always contains a creative presentation and kidworthy lessons. In the segment of each program where second graders present a creative project, kids showcase the toys they invented and built from common objects such as tennis balls, paper plates, clay, and so on. 4 stars.
