Young Explorer

Sixth book in the Arthur series - Arthur's Cars, Trucks and Monster Machines.

Coyote Peterson, YouTube star, animal enthusiast, and creator of the Brave Adventure series, has tracked down some of the world's most painfully stinging insects and chronicled getting stung by each of them on his YouTube channel. Coyote has saved the best - or possibly the worst - for last, and he's finally ready to share his experience with the most painful sting in the world: the Executioner Wasp. Packed with facts about nature's most misunderstood creatures, The King of Sting is a dream book for any kid that loves animals, bugs, outdoor exploration, and danger!

It was 1928: a time of illicit booze, of Gatsby and Babe Ruth, of freewheeling fun. The Great War was over, and American optimism was higher than the stock market. What better moment to launch an expedition to Antarctica, the planet's final frontier? The night before the expedition's flagship launched, Billy Gawronski - a skinny, first-generation New York City high schooler desperate to escape a dreary future in the family upholstery business - jumped into the Hudson River and snuck aboard. Could he get away with it?

Arthur and his kitten have their ears pricked for the next big thing. So when they get the chance to head off on a camping trip, the four-pawed friends eagerly hit the road. And once they reach the trees, a whole new world of excitement opens up!

Always the eager student, Arthur is ready for a day filled with learning. Slightly nervous about his next big challenge, this curious doggy can’t wait to come back to class and find out which subjects he’ll get to study. And after bouncing onto the yellow bus, he happily hangs his head out the window looking for his new school friends. Sitting pretty in class with his ears pricked, he laps up every subject, from reading and geography to science and math.

This dog’s about to blast off. Will his trip be out-of-this-world? Arthur can’t wait to make his first flight into outer space. Jumping for joy, he’s rocketing off on a mission to see the twinkling stars. And once he boards his ship, he’s eager to sniff out the most paw-some planets in our solar system. Flying to each of the heavenly bodies circling our sun, Arthur has to find out what makes each one so special. But from worlds with rings and moons to balls of gas and rock, he’s not sure how to choose his favorite place in space.

Arthur is wiggling with joy at the thought of sharing his favorite events. So when the year starts, the excitable dog decides to show everyone what he loves best about each amazing day. And from spring to winter, he’s getting set to unleash everything he’s learned about the calendar’s most fascinating times. Sending valentines in February and playing jokes in April leaves Arthur’s tail wagging harder than ever, but he’s still got loads of fun to come. And no matter the celebration at paw, he keeps searching for the thing that makes it unique.

Arthur’s tail is whirling at the thought of his next trip. And as the adventurous young canine and his kitten companion enter the aquarium, they’re thrilled by everything they see. But how will he know what to examine first? Dashing up to the exhibits, he quickly spots scary sharks, dancing dolphins, and awesome sea otters. And as the happy pup zips from one marvel to another, will he start to wish he could swim instead of run?

Arthur is itching to paw his way around the barn. Fastening up his overalls and putting on his straw hat, he can’t wait to journey to a special site…a farm! Happy as a pig in mud, this frisky pup is bouncing with energy and ready to help out in the farmer’s fields. Discovering how to milk a cow and collect eggs from chickens, Arthur scouts out all the wonderful ways that make a ranch work. But with so many chores to round up before the day ends, even this hearty hound will have to run at tail-wagging full speed to complete the challenge.
