Arthur Helps Out — Marc Brown

Arthur is back in two new 8 x 8 paperbacks full of fun! In Arthur Helps Out, Arthur wants to play, but Mom and Dad have other ideas-they give him a long list of chores to do. The sooner he finishes, the sooner he can play, but he+s in for a surprise after everything is done. In Arthur and the Big Snow, Arthur wants to join his friends at the hill for sledding, but he has to wait with D.W. until the roads are plowed. By the time Dad says they can go, all of Arthur+s friends have gone home. Arthur is disappointed until Dad produces a brand-new sled-and now they have the entire hill to themselves. Arthur fans old and new will love these short stories, perfect for reading aloud.
