I think this story was based on one from the TV show, but I think the TV show did it better.

We own a few from the Arthur's Family Values series and so my son was interested in reading some more from the list on the back of the book.

This one was good, although I think it's kind of funny that his mom gets carried away and WANTS to do the science project herself. It is very responsible of Arthur to want to do the project himself.

Arthur gets assigned a science project and his mom wants to help. But there is a fine line between helping and actually doing the project for Arthur. Arthur chooses to be honest and makes the choice to start over and do the whole project on his own.
