The last person he gave invitations to was Muffy. Arthur asked Muffy, ?could you come to my party?? And she said ?Yes.? But she said, ?Saturday? But my party is on Saturday.? Then Arthur said ?Can you change your date to another day?? She said, ?Are you kidding? My party?s on Saturday.? Then Arthur and his friends said, ?Should we go to Muffy?s party or Arthur?s?? And Arthur said ?who needs girls?? Arthur?s birthday is on May 25. Then Arthur had a plan. Arthur?s plan was to tell Muffy that he had a big surprise that he couldn?t even carry it to her. Everybody came to Arthur?s birthday party and the surprise was the birthday party. When Muffy came they said ?Surprise!? Muffy was happy. I liked the book because it was funny and I like birthday parties. I like when he invited Muffy and everyone brought Arthur presents. I think that people who like birthday parties or kids who are invited to partieswould like the book. Maybe babies would like the book because they haven?t had a party before so it would be fun to them. Arthur's Birthday (book) Arthur's Birthday is the thirteenth book in the Arthur Adventure series. It was first published on May 1, 1989 by Little, Brown and Company and was later adapted as a TV episode in 1996. Contents. On Tuesday, May 21, Arthur Read is writing invitations to his friends at Lakewood Elementary School and can't wait for his birthday coming up, which is Saturday, May 25. Grandma Thora asks him what kind of cake he wants her to bake, and he suggests chocolate. His mother, Jane wishes him to have a good day at school, and his sister D.W. reminds him not to forget to hand out his invitations to his friends. At school, Arthur is handing out his invitations to his friends. Francine Frensky asks if they would like to play a game called Spin the Bottle . Arthur asks his friend Muffy Crosswire if she would like to come to his birthday party, and she responds and wonders when it is, and Arthur says his birthday party is Saturday afternoon. Arthur then learns that he and Muffy both have the same birthday, and Muffy had planned it on the same day, but he suggests that Muffy should change her party to another day, but she refuses. Then other kids wonder if they should go to Arthur's birthday party, or Muffy's instead. The next day on Wednesday, May 22, the boys: Arthur, Buster Baxter, the Brain, and Binky Barnes meet together and decide that they should stick together and just go to Arthur's party, but Arthur suggests that they need the girls, too. Buster says that they don't need the girls. After lunch, the girls: Muffy, Francine, Sue Ellen Armstrong, Fern Walters, and Prunella Deegan went out to the playground and then Muffy teased the other girls by saying that she might stop being friends with someone who doesn't go to her party. Francine says that a party would be boring without any of the boys. The following day on Thursday, May 23, after school, Arthur and Jane went out to the Fairwood Party to buy party decorations. At home, a delivery man brought in a big brown box, and D.W. suggests that it weighs over a ton. Then Arthur found three letters in the mail and carried them in: one was from Uncle Bud and three dollar bills fell out when he opened the card. Friday, May 24, after school, Arthur ran to catch up with Francine. He was wishing that she could come to his birthday party. She told him she promised Muffy, but wished she could go to both parties, and finds it boring to go to a party without boys. Arthur found an idea, and he whispered to Francine the suggestion, and she agreed to help out. Then they went to the tree house and found pencils, papers, and envelopes to write notes. Francine suggests that the handwriting should look like Muffy's. Arthur then suggests to make sure there are notes for all the girls. The next morning, Saturday, May 25, Arthur and Francine went to deliver the invitations: One for Prunella, another for Sue Ellen, and another for Fern. The final one was a special note for Muffy and it said: Dear Muffy, I have a special present for you. It is so big, I can't carry it by myself. Please come to my house at noon to get it. Sincerely, Arthur. Back at home, Arthur's father David and Aunt Bonnie were making pancakes with maple syrup that Aunt Bonnie brought from Ohio. His cousin, George wished him a "happy birthday". Jane was giving Arthur birthday kisses, and Thora was giving Arthur eight birthday hugs, and D.W. suggested them not to forget "a pinch to grow an inch". Arthur then looks out the window and sees his friends coming to his house. The first to come was Sue Ellen. The next people coming were Fern, Prunella, Buster, and the Brain. The next two to come in were Francine and Binky. When it was noon, Arthur told all his friends to find a place to hide, because Muffy will arrive any minute. Then Muffy arrives at the door, and Muffy tells everyone she arrived to pick up her birthday present. Then everyone shouts "SURPRISE!" and Arthur then wishes Muffy a "Happy Birthday!". Arthur tells Muffy her present was too big to carry. Then Arthur asks everyone what a party would look like without all their friends. Then they celebrate the party for Arthur and Muffy. Muffy says it was a great party, and that they should do it every year. Jane suggests that next year, they will do it at the Crosswire residence. Francine then tells Arthur it is time to open presents. Francine makes a promise to him that he will use it right away. Arthur is excited, and when he opens it, it is revealed to be a Spin the Bottle game. And once again, they wish "Happy Birthday!" to Arthur. Arthur's Birthday. Arthur's Birthday is the seventh Living Books PC CD-Rom Game and the second Arthur Living Books game based on the 1989 storybook written by Marc Brown, what Matthew Fieck requested to be read by Malcolm & Eddie actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and was originally released in 1994 and then V2 released in 1997. Contents. Plot [ edit | edit source ] The story opened with Arthur finishing up his invitations and going to school to hand them out to the boys and girls, who were sure to come. Then, he proceeded to hand one out to Muffy, who replied that she's having a birthday party. Arthur and Muffy both get surprised because they were born on the same day. As a result, Muffy said that the Saturday which Arthur had his party on, it was also the day she would have hers. They couldn't reschedule nor postpone their parties. Because a lot had been planned already. The classmates then discussed about whose party they could go to, and struggle to figure it out. After getting some gifts and more decorations, Arthur met up with Francine a few days later to tell her all about a solution to the problem. Then, they write invitations and deliver them to everyone's mail-box, and a special one goes to Muffy, telling her about a present too big to fit in a box, so she must be at Arthur's house to get it. Everyone makes it there, and they all surprised Muffy by having both parties at the same house. Muffy said that it should happen every year (saying, "Maybe we must do this every year".). Mrs. Read said, "But next year at your house". The story ended with Francine giving Arthur a bottle labelled "Spin the Bottle", which she had been pestering him about earlier on.
