Fifth-grader Cliff Abernathy has
come to realize that being the oldest of six children is not
just fun and games. The position comes with
responsibilities. His parents expect him to help monitor the
behavior of his little brothers and younger sister, and he
is often in trouble for falling down on the job. He
definitely enjoys the perks of being the oldest, but
sometimes he wonders if they are really a good trade-off for
the extra work his parents expect of him. In Fig Pudding , Cliff shares his memories of everything that has happened to him and his family in the past year, twelve months that include things he wants to remember forever and one or two that he just wishes he could forget...Click here for more of the curledupkids.com

Hachette Audio has released an amazing collection in Arthur's Audio Favorites . The one-hour CD features six Arthur the aardvark books written by Marc Brown and read by the author.

a story highlighted by D.W. and Arthur’s fascination with
the possibility of alien existence...Click here for more of the curledupkids.com review of Marc Brown's Arthur's Audio Favorites. |
