Arthur
What a wonderful kind of day!
Created by Marc Brown
On PBS
A warm, gently paced animated series about elementary school friendships and family life, built on kindness and life lessons rather than conflict.
The show revolves around the lives of 8-year-old Arthur Read, an anthropomorphic aardvark, his friends and family, and their daily interactions with each other.
