Arthur's Computer Disaster
One of many run of the mill TV cartoon tie-in picture books about Arthur and his crazy sister D.W., their family and friends. Arthur is forbidden to touch his Mom's computer (note the American spelling). The temptation is, however, too much for the young bear who is addicted to computer games. When mom is called to the office, Arthur and his friend, Buster, begin a quick game of Deep, Dark Sea only for the computer keyboard to be knocked to the floor. Unable to repair the damaged computer, Arthur fears big trouble when his mother returns. However, she 'jiggles' a switch and everything is normal again - except that Arthur is banned from the computer for a week for his disobedience. The colour spreads and single page illustrations are somewhat dated and dull - rather like the story.
