Summary
On his third birthday, Arthur's favorite present was Stanley, his teddy bear. Stanley protected Arthur when he was afraid of the dark...and even when his new baby sister, D.W. arrived. What will he do if he sells him out of peer pressure?
Plot
The story starts off with Stanley and a Woogle on the second shelf. Stanley looks old and worn and needs to be sewn. Arthur's mother sews him and then the Reads have a garage sale. D.W. thinks a penny is good enough. Arthur disagrees. She tries to sell her singing fish, Thelma, to Vicita Molina, but Ramon says it's too expensive (which was 1,000 dollars.) Soon, she hears from D.W. about [Stanley and gets even more excited than she did with Thelma.
