Synopsis

Arthur and the Meanies How do you play with an elephant? Well, if you're Tiger, Cheetah, Monkey and Peacock, you don't. Tiger growls that Arthur is too heavy for hopping, and Cheetah is very unkind when Arthur asks to hold the string on his beautiful new kite. But when it starts to rain, suddenly everybody wants to be Arthur's friend.

About this title

Review:

"The story addresses the shifting tides of childhood friends in a direct and meaningful way." --Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD "There are important lessons in this touching tale of how fair weather friends can be very hurtful, but Jan Fearnley manages to get his message across with humor and without being preachy" --Bookloons.com "[Arthur and the Meanies] teaches an important lesson about true friendship." --Curled Up with a Good Kid's Book "[Arthur and the Meanies] is an excellent story to launch a discussion of what constitutes a real friend and why friendship should not be 'conditional.'" --MyShelf.com
