Aimed at viewers | Aimed at viewers between the ages of four and eight, ''Arthur''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> goal is to help foster children's interest in literature and to encourage positive social skills. Each episode follows [[Arthur Read]] (an eight-year-old aardvark) and his family and friends through engaging, emotional stories that explore issues faced by children such as cancer<ref>"[[The Great MacGrady]]"</ref>, bed-wetting<ref>"[[Jenna's Bedtime Blues]]"</ref>, adoption<ref>"[[Big Brother Binky]]"</ref>, video game addiction<ref>"[[Sue Ellen Gets Her Goose Cooked]]"</ref>, etc. It is a comedy that tells these stories from a child's point of view without moralizing or talking down. Situations on ''Arthur'' develop in realistic ways, and don't always turn out as people or Arthur and his friends might think. | ||
