Before Arthur was televised, approximately 3 million Arthur books were sold over a period of 20 years. After three and a half years on television, more than 25 million copies of the Arthur series were sold! Not only were a lot of Arthur books sold, but Arthur quickly became a top-rated children’s show for PBS. By 2000, the Arthur show was not only the top-rated kids show (ages 4 to 8), but also the top preschool program (ages 2 to 5), and the number one children’s series (ages 2 to 11) on TV. The Arthur television series has also appeared in sixty countries worldwide and has garnered three prestigious Emmy awards. Arthur celebrated his 25th year on May 25, 2001.
