Arthur's April Fool is the seventh book in the Arthur Adventure series. It was written and illustrated by Marc Brown and published by Little, Brown and Company on March 30, 1983. The re-illustrated cover that shows what Arthur and his friends look like today has a very similar pose to the first edition, except with his mouth open and cards inside the top hat and in his sleeve. The re-illustrated cover edition also included special-edition stickers.

Trivia

Notes

  • This book is the first appearance of Binky Barnes. Although this book is his introduction in the series and he was depicted as a tough bully, he was friends with Arthur in some of the later books that were even prequels to this book's timeframe, especially Arthur's Birthday.
  • This book is also the first book where Arthur's third grade year with Mr. Ratburn takes place during second semester.
