I know, I remember 1998, playing on my Windows 98 PC, just a wee lad of 7 playing Arthur's reading race and others like the Tortoise in the Hare, God I miss my Childhood!🥺
loved this game so much. i may still have it, i need to show kids of our generation how fun this was. Thank you, Marc Brown! you'll be forever known in america as "The man who gave us Arthur".
Ahh the good ole days...Filled with PBS kids in the morning with some pancakes, a full box of crayons was the best thing in the world, a handheld cd player meant you were badass and not giving a single fuck about what was going on in the world.

It's unusual how the flashback shows Arthur with his trademark glasses when he was in what appears to be preschool or kindergarten, when it was established in "Arthur's Eyes" (both the original book and the TV adaptation episode) that he got them in second grade. And then you have Binky with them as well, since the TV show established Binky was being held back in third grade and did not join up with the main gang until they started third grade as well. (The book here was published in 1996, around the same time as the TV show premiered.)
Zak Wolf it’s probably an alternative universe the living books aren’t really cannon to the tv series keep in mind a lot of franchises have alternative universes dc marvel and Star Wars comes to mind
this game taught me to read and to love reading. im almost 18 now and my mom and i can still quote this game :P "say what you mean and mean what you say, by learning a new word every day!"
I loved this game growing up! I'd spend a whole hour starting over and listening to the theme song xD I'm going to be 18 in a week and I still want this game back! LOL i used to love the little running man as the courser XD (This one, The Cat in the Hat, School House Rock, Jump Start First Grade, and Reader Rabbit!)
When Arthur's mom tells Arthur at 9:47-9:49 that she heard something about birds being dinosaur descendants, she may be referring to the discoveries of feathered maniraptoran dinosaurs in China during the 1990s because Sinosauropteryx was discovered in 1996, the same year that Arthur's Reading Race was published.
I still have my copy of this game I've had since I was about 8...I wish I had taken better care of it,since the disc hardly works due to all the scratches
I could tell what this song is as a song I learned in Speech therapy in 3rd grade 2005, the lyrics is "Head, Thorax and abdomen, where inside out, no bones within, Head,Thorax and Abdomen, talking about a morphic change"

Oh my god, I have never forgotten this game! It filled most of me and my sister's childhood, we played it so much :D
Childhood memories. I played this all the time as a kid.
that pit in youre stomach from the nostalgia. i miss the old days where i could be carefree
I know, I remember 1998, playing on my Windows 98 PC, just a wee lad of 7 playing Arthur's reading race and others like the Tortoise in the Hare, God I miss my Childhood!🥺
I can't believe I've found this after all these years! I'm remembering everything they say from my childhood!
I was obsessed with this game as a kid
srt42893 so trueeee. Now I miss my dad, I want to hug him right now. greetings from indonesia :)
Living books was a part of my childhood!
loved this game so much. i may still have it, i need to show kids of our generation how fun this was. Thank you, Marc Brown! you'll be forever known in america as "The man who gave us Arthur".
I flipping LOVED this game a kid, never thought I'd be able to find it again!
I loved this game as a little kid! The music at the beginning when DW waits for you to pick a choice was playing in my head the other day!
This is seriously my childhood right here. I remember playing this one and the 'just grandma and me' game ALL THE TIME!
This game... THIS game... Quite possibly my first game ever played (maybe it was just grandma and me, but I played this one a lot more)
Does this one also have the game where you play hide and seek with pal at the park?
I know I'm a little late, but I think that's Arthur's Thinking Games.
I loved Grandma and Me! My favorite part was the sandcastle game!
Ahh the good ole days...Filled with PBS kids in the morning with some pancakes, a full box of crayons was the best thing in the world, a handheld cd player meant you were badass and not giving a single fuck about what was going on in the world.
MY CHILDHOOD
I wish I could download this game and play it again lol brings back memories
I dont know why, but on 2:34-2:42, I laugh so hard. Maybe because of the way Arthur dances. Or it could be the music he dances to.
The brown dinosaur said, "Because the food for thought."
This was my first ever PC game, oh my god. I became an Arthur fan..I was obsessed with this!
I love 7:05. "BACK TO YOUR CAGE, FLUFFY." The teacher's right.
I remember playing this game as a kid in computer class! Oh, the memories :)
11:46 love the arhtur and pal reaction when the alarm clock goes off
Happy 20th anniversary to this game which was released on this day 20 years ago!!!!!! October 29th, 1996.
THX

I'm glad my memories will never be forgotten with these videos posted…
Now for Mr. Potato Head.
so much honor to relive my childhood memories.
Good boy Pal! Also, I can't help but think that D.W is cute. She may seem very bratty, but she has a really good heart.
11:45 My favorite part.
Mine too. It makes me want to laugh 😆 and it was hilarious 🤣 at 11:45. Oh, What a laugh 😆!
I recall playing this game all the time every time I went to school.

Holy smokes. Are we not going to talk about how nice the music at the beginning is paired with the oddly astounding animation for D.W.?
Oh wow. you brought me back to 5 years old.
7:18 - words are more powerful than you can imagine. LOL! I was laughing at that bit where the teacher got electrocuted by that!
Arthur: (yellow feathers come out of his book and tickled his nose) Achoo!
Me: Gesundheit.
this game taught me to read and to love reading. im almost 18 now and my mom and i can still quote this game :P
"say what you mean and mean what you say, by learning a new word every day!"
The best Living Books title, as far as I'm concerned.
I loved this game growing up! I'd spend a whole hour starting over and listening to the theme song xD I'm going to be 18 in a week and I still want this game back! LOL i used to love the little running man as the courser XD
(This one, The Cat in the Hat, School House Rock, Jump Start First Grade, and Reader Rabbit!)
mannn. this takes me back my boi. especially when dw was dancing to the music in the beginning. good old childhood. i love this game

One of the first games I ever owned. I played it all the time, holy shit. Thanks so much for this.
I used to have this game. I think I still do.
I remember when I played this back when I was in 2nd grade
Same here, I used to played this with my friends when my friends and I was younger 2nd grader special education students
This was my favorite living books Arthur game as a kid
now I remember playing this one quite a bit :) ah memories
I remember playing this back in elementary school! Good times!
I still have my copy of this game I've had since I was about 8...I wish I had taken better care of it,since the disc hardly works due to all the scratches
It might work if you resurface it, resurfacing only works so many times however before you would dig into the data layer.
6:51 And here I was remembering the second dinosaur saying "Because they're good to eat." Oh well.
My first one of these! I had 3 of these livin books, this one, arthurs birthday, and arthures computer adventure!
5:25 Never gets old
My brother would always sing this all the time.
lovely theme tune to living books!
I dont remember this actually being about learning to read, i just remember fun
I could tell what this song is as a song I learned in Speech therapy in 3rd grade 2005, the lyrics is "Head, Thorax and abdomen, where inside out, no bones within, Head,Thorax and Abdomen, talking about a morphic change"
So funny how Arthur shook in fear crying "There's no such thing as ghosts!"
I used to LOVE this game
I miss this game so much

On page 2 you missed clicking on the moth, and I think you can click on the screw for the lamp shade
One of my favorite 😍 part of this story at 11:45. What a laugh 😆!

I love d.w.'s rad dance
At 11:55, the music when Arthur's pillow turns into a ghost sounds exactly the same as the ghost music in Harry and the Haunted House.
The word is "Dance".
THE MEMORIES. JESUS. THE MEMORIES!!!!!!!
Holy crap! Never played this since 2005
I remember this game but it was titled Arthur's Reading Games by Creative Wonders on PC CD-Rom back around 1999!

@purplebearseatcandy Okay, I've heard of games being packaged with cereal boxes (thank you, AOL), but shampoo? Okay, that's just full of awesome.
