This was a good filler this week with my students.

Arthur ends up telling D.W. the best story he has ever come up with!

This was a nice 'shorter' Arthur book; loved the way Mr Brown used both DW and Arthur's imagination and made Arthur do something he wasn't aware he was doing as he was doing it! DW wanted him to tell her a story and he said he was too busy... but then he told her she couldn't go walking Pal with him because.... and that started an adventure for them... and at the end DW thanks Arthur for the story, when all he was trying to do was get away from his little sister! very cute way of writing sibling togetherness!

good early reader, using text to relate to the television show many of the stories hae been repeated in the show.

I feel like this series dropped a bit after the first book.
