Arthur's Jelly Beans    by Marc Brown Order:  USA  Can Little, Brown & Co., 2004 (2004) Softcover     Reviewed by Hilary Williamson This is a new springtime episode in Marc Brown's ever popular Arthur series. When he shows up late for Muffy's 'Spring Fling' party, the other guests agree that 'Arthur makes turtles look fast'. They have fun playing 'Egg Push' and 'Bunny Hop', but poor Arthur always finishes last. Then it's time for the finale, a 'Jelly Bean Hunt' for the grand prize of the party. When Arthur says he wants to win, the others laugh at him. Do you think he has a chance for that huge solid chocolate egg? Arthur's Jelly Beans ends in a way that is funny and endearing as Arthur laughs at himself and shares with his friends.
