Arthur Season 4 begins with the classic double episode “DW’s Library Card” and “Arthur’s Big Hit.”

In “DW’s Library Card,” DW can’t wait to become more grown-up by getting her own library card. But with great responsibility comes great challenges—especially when she has to learn about due dates and taking care of books.

In “Arthur’s Big Hit,” Arthur learns a powerful lesson about handling anger when a fight with DW gets out of hand. This episode has remained one of the most talked-about in the series for its honesty about sibling rivalry and family conflicts.

Originally airing on **PBS Kids** in 1999 and produced by **WGBH Boston**, Arthur continues to deliver meaningful lessons for children and families around the world. Based on the beloved books by **Marc Brown**, the series mixes humor, education, and life lessons in every episode.

00:05Everybody that you meet
00:08Has an original point of view
00:10And I say, hey
00:13What a wonderful kind of day
00:16If you can learn to work and play
00:19And get along with each other
00:21You got to listen to your heart
00:24Listen to the beat

00:27Rhythm of the street
00:28Open up your eyes
00:29Open up your ears
00:31Get together and make things better
00:33By working together
00:34It's a simple message
00:36And it comes from the heart
00:39Oh, believe in yourself
00:41For that's the place to start
00:44Start and I say, hey
00:46What a wonderful kind of day
00:48If you can learn to work and play
00:51And get along with each other
00:54What a wonderful kind of day
00:56What a wonderful kind of day
00:59Hey
00:59Hey, DW
01:01Hey
01:04Whoa
01:04I love the library
01:11There are so many books to read
01:12And great things to find out
01:14But the best thing about the library is
01:16It's quiet
01:18Arthur
01:20Except on days when I have to bring DW
01:23What does this word say?
01:26The
01:26Another great thing about the library is
01:29I can check out all these books
01:31Arthur
01:32What is it now?
01:34What does this word say?
01:35Red
01:36To take books out of the library
01:38You need a library card
01:39But it's easy to get one of those
01:41All you have to do is
01:43Arthur
01:43What?
01:44How about this word?
01:47Dog
01:47The red dog, okay?
01:49Got it?
01:50And stop being so noisy
01:51See the sign?
01:52It says no talking
01:54If I can't read
01:55The red dog
01:57How do you expect me to read that sign?
02:00Well
02:00Just go pester someone else
02:02I'm busy
02:03Where was I?
02:05Oh yeah
02:06All you need to do to get a library card is
02:08The sign says no talking
02:11DW's library card
02:17And he published a rondo in C minor
02:22When he was only 15 years old
02:25DW
02:25Stop bugging Binky
02:27It's time for your puppet show in the kids section
02:30I wasn't bugging him
02:31Binky was reading to me about Chopin
02:33The great romantic composer
02:35No I wasn't
02:36His name was Chopin
02:37And he was a karate master
02:39You weren't listening
02:41Sorry if my sister was bothering you
02:43It's okay
02:44Little kids should hear about important stuff
02:46Like karate
02:48Arthur, look
02:54A book on frogs
02:56Take it out for me
02:57Hop along the frog?
03:00Forget it
03:01But it's about frogs
03:02Please, please, please, please, please
03:04I can't take out baby books on my library card
03:07It could go on my permanent record
03:09Warning, reader is a baby
03:16Adult books are off limits
03:17Sorry, Arthur
03:21The last book you took out was Hopalong the Frog
03:25From now on you can only take out baby books
03:29Baby books
03:30Baby books
03:31Baby books
03:32Arthur's a baby
03:36Arthur's a baby
03:36Sorry, DW
03:37There's just too much at stake
03:40Yeah?
03:41Well, someday I'm going to get my own library card
03:44Then I'll take out whatever I want
03:47Hooray!
03:51Thank you
03:53Are there any questions?
03:55When will we be old enough to get our own library cards?
03:59You are old enough, DW
04:00I am?
04:02I'll take one
04:03No, make that two
04:04I want more cards than Arthur
04:05I want one
04:06Settle down, children
04:09You can all have one
04:11You just have to be able to write your full name
04:14I knew there was a catch
04:15We can write our names
04:17But my full name is Dora Winifred Reed
04:20I hardly ever say it
04:22How can I write it?
04:23You have it easy
04:24Be glad you're not Aloysius Zimmer plots
04:27Oh no, I ran out of room again
04:31And when I have my own library card
04:35I'm going to get Hopalong the Frog
04:37And you can't do anything about it
04:39But you can't read
04:41Miss Turner didn't say that you had to read to take out books
04:44You just have to write your full name
04:46You can't do that either
04:47I know
04:48But I'm going to learn
04:49You'll see
04:51Doba-minifred-reepid?
05:20Who's that?
05:22I can't do it
05:23There are too many letters in my name
05:28Why didn't you name me something simple?
05:30Like A
05:31You seem to have Dora Winifred down
05:34Quick, Dad
05:35More mashed potatoes
05:36I wrote my name
05:42I wrote my name
05:43Look out where O.D.W. Reed writes
05:46Dora Winifred Reed
05:51Dora Winifred Reed
05:54I bet D.W. messes up her name
05:56And doesn't get her library card
05:58Yeah, she can't even spell D
06:01I can too
06:02I've already spelled it a hundred times
06:05It's time to get in line
06:06What if the tibbles are right?
06:09What if I forget my own name?
06:11What is my name?
06:13I forgot it
06:13I forgot my name
06:15Good luck, D.W.
06:17Oh, yeah
06:17D.W.
06:19What does that stand for?
06:21I can't remember
06:22Very nice
06:31Dora Winifred Reed
06:32Here's your card
06:34Look, Arthur
06:37You didn't think I could do it
06:39But I did it
06:40And now I can take out any book I want
06:43Now I know what true power feels like
06:48Hey, where's Hopalong the Frog?
06:54It was here just a couple of days ago
06:56It's probably back on the shelves
06:58Ask for it at the front desk
06:59Sorry, that book was just checked out
07:05It should be back a week from today
07:07A whole week?
07:08I can't wait that long
07:10It could come back before then
07:12But Saturday is when it's due
07:13Come on, D.W.
07:16Okay
07:17Is it back yet?
07:21Nope
07:21How about now?
07:24Uh-uh
07:25Nope
07:30It's not in yet
07:32You got there
07:36Not yet, D.W.
07:41Mmm
07:42Not yet, D.W.
07:49What if Saturday never comes?
07:54What if we go right from Friday to Sunday?
07:57Are there leap weeks like leap years, Arthur?
08:00Relax
08:01It's only 12 hours away
08:03Now let me sleep
08:04Wake up, Arthur
08:07Tomorrow's today and today's yesterday
08:09Huh?
08:10It's Saturday
08:11But it's 6.30
08:14The library isn't even open yet
08:17I know
08:18But we have to be the first ones there
08:20Here's your cereal
08:21But it has to be here
08:25You said Hopalong the Frog was due today
08:28But it might be late
08:29Late?
08:31Call the police
08:31Why don't you just take out some other baby book?
08:34I want Hopalong the Frog
08:36And it's not a baby book
08:38Well, I'm not going to spend my whole Saturday here
08:41Fine, go home
08:43I'll just tell Mommy that you left me here all alone
08:46Arthur, look
08:56Somebody's returning a big book
08:57This might be it
08:59The name's Dora Winifred Reed
09:01Is that a book on frogs?
09:03Uh, no
09:04It's Chippy the Choo Choo
09:06Oh, it'll never come
09:09Hi, D.W.
09:12You had the book
09:14I should have known
09:15Ah, you heard it
09:18It's all wrinkly
09:19It was like that when they took it out
09:21It's an old book
09:22We would never hurt a library book
09:24If you do
09:25They'll take away your library card forever
09:28Really?
09:30Here you go
09:33Take good care of it
09:35Or else
09:36I've been waiting so long for this moment
09:42What have I done?
09:50You can never have another library card again
09:54But I worked so hard for that card
10:00More books for us
10:02More books for us
10:04More books for us
10:04I told you you'd never have a library card
10:09I told you
10:11It's not fair
10:13It's not fair
10:15I know you're just gonna bug me all night
10:19To read you that book
10:21So, let's get it over with now
10:23No
10:23I mean
10:24You've done enough for me already, Arthur
10:27Maybe later
10:28Huh?
10:38I knew it
10:39You forgot what today is
10:41No, I didn't
10:42It's Saturday
10:43You're supposed to return your library book today
10:46It's today?
10:47I thought it would never come
10:48Why are you wearing oven mitts?
11:02To keep the book safe
11:03It's a book, DW
11:04It's not going to explode
11:06How was it anyway?
11:08I don't know
11:09I never opened it
11:10I was afraid I'd lose my library card
11:13Why would you lose your library card?
11:16Because the Tibblast said if you heard a book
11:18They'd take away your library card forever
11:20And look at it, Arthur
11:22It's an old book
11:23It could fall apart any minute
11:25I'll open it if you're so worried
11:28Hey, I took this book out
11:33See, that's my name
11:35You used to have to write your name here
11:36Whenever you took a book out
11:38This is the very first book I ever took out of the library
11:41My first book
11:43My first book
11:44You took out a baby book?
11:47It isn't a baby book
11:48I love this book
11:49It's great for little kids
11:51Here, listen to this
11:52Hopped along the frog
11:54Hopped onto a log
11:56And the log started floating away
11:58The end
12:00What's wrong, DW?
12:03It was a happy story
12:05Didn't you like it?
12:06I loved it
12:07I'm just sad I had to return it now
12:10Yeah, but you can take it right out again
12:13It's called renewing a book
12:15I can?
12:18Arthur's gonna read it to me every single day
12:21Twice a day
12:22Once in the morning and once at night
12:24And then I'm gonna renew it again
12:26And again and again
12:28And again and again
12:29What have I done?
12:30Again and again and again
12:31Presenting the main event
12:42The champion
12:44Arthur Reed
12:46I've been waiting for this fight for years
12:53There's no way I can lose
12:55And the challenger
12:57Dora Winifred Reed
12:59What?
13:24This doesn't help
13:28I can't read
13:29Get ready to fight
13:34Arthur
13:37Two DWs?
13:41No, not two DWs
13:43There's only one of me
13:44We figured you'd rather fight someone your own size
13:52You know
13:54You're right
13:55I would love to fight someone my own size
13:57You wait here
13:58I'll go find someone
14:00Come back and fight
14:02Arthur's big hit
14:08What kind of game is that?
14:15It's not a game
14:16It's a scale model of the Bell X-1 rocket plane
14:19The plane that broke the sound barrier
14:21The sound barrier must be pretty hard
14:24Because this plane is all smashed up
14:26It's not smashed
14:28I'm gonna build it
14:29Stop touching everything
14:30You'll mix up the pieces
14:31I've never heard of toys that come already broken
14:34I'm going
14:36Never say I don't go
14:38When you want me to go
14:38Because I'm going
14:40Like that
14:41The minute you want me to go
14:42I'm on my way out of here
14:43No waiting
14:44Go already
14:45And if you say please
14:46I go even faster
14:48Because when they're
14:49Is that the same broken plane you were fixing yesterday?
14:59Don't do that
15:00I need to concentrate
15:02That's a pretty color
15:04Bye
15:06Bye
15:07I've been working on the plane all week
15:11It's hard but I'm almost done
15:13DW don't touch that
15:15The paint isn't dry
15:17Ew
15:19Mommy
15:20Arthur made my hands orange
15:22I never thought about it before
15:25But being an only child is nice
15:28It's the best thing I ever made
15:32Arthur Reed
15:35You win the blue ribbon
15:37This calls for a celebration snack
15:49Did I hear you say cookies?
16:02Good boy
16:03DW reached your headquarters
16:07Sound barrier broken
16:09What's my next mission, General?
16:14There's a good breeze today, General
16:16Arthur Reed
16:22Winner of 5,000 blue ribbons
16:24Requesting landing coordinates
16:26Arthur, you made that plane all wrong
16:33It doesn't fly at all
16:35No, DW
16:36I made it exactly right
16:37What?
16:39Woo
16:42If it could break the sound barrier
16:58Falling out of a window shouldn't be able to break it
17:01I told you not to touch it
17:03You built it all wrong
17:05Did you even read the directions?
17:07It didn't fly for one second
17:09It's not my fault if you made a plane that can't fly
17:12I told you not to touch it
17:16Arthur, Timothy, Reed
17:25Come here
17:26Uh-oh
17:27Middle name
17:28Are they going to have to amputate my arm?
17:34No, honey
17:35It's amputate
17:37Not amputate
17:38They're going to amputate
17:40No, I'm in charge
17:42And I'm putting ice on it
17:43Ah!
17:44What's wrong?
17:46That's cold
17:47Apologize to your sister
17:50No way
17:51She should apologize to me
17:52I worked all week on this
17:54I told her a million times not to touch it
17:57You're bad
17:58Arthur, this means no TV for a week
18:03What?
18:04That is so unfair
18:05You don't even care what she did to me
18:08We'll deal with what she did
18:10But what you did is wrong, too
18:12So I missed Bionic Bunny last night
18:17And I can't watch TV all week
18:19Can you believe that?
18:20No, I don't believe it
18:22You hit your sister?
18:24That's terrible
18:25Oh, come on
18:26Like you never hit anybody
18:27Nope
18:28Did you hear that?
18:31Arthur hit his sister
18:32I, for one, am shocked
18:34How could you be shocked
18:36About someone hitting someone?
18:38Why not?
18:40You're Binky Barnes
18:41You always...
18:42You know, I can't remember
18:44The last time you hit anybody
18:46Well, what do you mean?
18:49There's the bell
18:50Don't want to be late
18:52So when was it, Bink?
18:55Binky does not have to remind us
18:57Of his past glorious fights
18:59That's right
19:00That he is afraid of no one
19:02Is a well-established factoid
19:04That's right
19:05And he can prove it easily
19:06By socking the very next kid
19:08Who turns that corner
19:09That's right
19:10What?
19:12Go ahead, Binky
19:14Sock him
19:14Maybe I don't feel like it
19:17You better feel like it
19:19Or you're out of the club
19:20I can't be out of the club
19:23It's my club
19:24I founded it
19:25If you wanted everything
19:27Your own way
19:27You shouldn't have let
19:28Anyone else join
19:29The next time you see
19:30That kid, you sock him
19:32The next time I see Arthur
19:35I have to hit him
19:37Oh, what can I do?
19:40Hey
19:40What if I never see him?
19:44Arthur
19:45Why didn't you just apologize?
19:47Oh, come on
19:48She wrecked my plane
19:49Why can't anybody
19:51See my side of this?
19:52Uh, because you're wrong
19:54Hey, Binky
19:55Did you hear that Arthur
19:56Hid his little sister?
19:57Well, I haven't seen Arthur
19:59As far as I know
20:00Arthur isn't even here
20:01Binky's so upset
20:03About what Arthur did
20:04That he won't even look at him
20:05When the day and night
20:08Are of equal length
20:09It's called the equinox
20:11You sock that kid yet?
20:17Haven't seen him
20:17I am so smart
20:21Psst
20:24Hey
20:25Is Arthur in there?
20:28Yeah
20:29I'll just eat outside then
20:31Binky won't even eat near Arthur
20:34That's awful
20:36We should bring them together
20:37Arthur will thank us
20:39Binky's out here somewhere
20:41Uh
20:42I'll get it
20:46Thanks
20:47Binky?
20:51What are you doing?
20:52Avoiding Arthur
20:53If I don't see him
20:55I don't have to hit him
20:56Oh
20:57Why would you want to hit Arthur?
21:00I don't
21:01That's why I don't want to see him
21:03Hmm
21:04Boys
21:06Is Arthur in there?
21:13No
21:13Oh
21:14Oh
21:15Thank you
21:15Thank you
21:16Thank you so much
21:17She broke my plane
21:23But she's just a little girl
21:25Saying DW is just a little girl
21:27Is like saying a tornado
21:29Is just a little wind
21:30Hey Arthur
21:32Over here
21:33Hey
21:33I thought someone called my name
21:37I made it through one whole day
21:44Now only
21:45The rest of my life to go
21:48So I never saw that glasses kid again
21:52Probably never will
21:54Hey Binky
21:55You dropped your pen when you ran out of school
21:57Kind of sideways at the end of the day
21:59Here's the chance you've been waiting for
22:01Show her Binky
22:02Pop him one
22:04Ow
22:11Okay you're right
22:12He will hit anybody
22:13Oh right Binky
22:15You're still in the club
22:16Binky?
22:18Where you going?
22:19Hey
22:20Binky
22:20Ow
22:21And the next thing I knew
22:24I was on the ground
22:25It hurt and it was embarrassing
22:27Well maybe that's how DW felt
22:30When you punched her
22:31Maybe
22:32But what's that got to do with this
22:35Binky Barnes is huge
22:37Yeah I guess I get it
22:41I'm sorry I hit you
22:44And I'm sorry I broke your plane
22:46But what kind of a stupid plane doesn't fly?
22:51A model plane?
22:53Well I didn't know
22:54I'm just a child
22:55Give me a break
22:56Give me a break
22:56Arthur
22:59Hey
23:00I feel rotten
23:01I want to apologize
23:03I just want to thank you
23:05You
23:05You what?
23:07Everybody told me I was wrong
23:08And I didn't get it
23:09But you made me understand
23:11How bad I made DW feel
23:13Well you're welcome
23:15But I wouldn't try to help you learn some boring lesson
23:18It was an accident
23:19It's the kid who got hit by Binky and lived
23:22You deserve to be in our club kid
23:24There is no club
23:26I founded it and I'm de-founding it
23:30Any club that makes you do something you don't want to do is dumb
23:33Anybody want to make something of it?
23:36Um, no?
23:37Come on, Arthur
23:40Let's go get a soda
23:41Oh, man
23:43Now we've got no club
23:44Ah!
23:45You guys want to come with us?
23:48How about we form a new club with no dumb hitting and stuff
23:52And if anybody breaks that rule
23:54I'll clubber them
23:56And I say, hey
23:59What a wonderful kind of day
24:02If you can learn to work and play
24:04And get along with each other
24:07You got to listen to your heart
24:10Listen to the beat
24:11Listen to the rhythm
24:13The rhythm of the street
24:14It's a simple message
24:17And it comes from the heart
24:19Believe in yourself
24:21For that's the place to start
24:24And I say, hey
24:26What a wonderful kind of day
24:29If you can learn to work and play
24:31And get along with each other
24:34What a wonderful kind of day
24:37Hey
24:37What a wonderful kind of day
24:39Hey
24:40What a wonderful kind of day
24:41Take care of
24:41I was just supposed to come to show you
24:42They say, hey
24:43Let me know
24:43I'm married
24:44A wonderful kind of day
24:45I can love some of these
24:46I wonder 혹시 do Trooper
24:46And maybe you're awake
24:46I just want to play
24:47Come on
24:48I get along
24:48I would say
24:49Maybe you'll wanna talk to you
24:50I think do
25:03What a wonderful thing
25:03Ias through
