Young rabbit Buster Baxter is a familiar face from the hit children's series "Arthur." Now he has his own show, traveling across America, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico with his dad. In order to stay in touch with his friends back home, Buster sends them video postcards from his trips. Each video animation is narrated by Buster. At each location, Buster visits children and their families, learning about the local culture. While the sequences with Buster are animated, the children are live-action and seen from the viewpoint of Buster's video camera.
