nice that arthur got rewarded for helping his 4 friends with their projects instead of punished for not doing his own, but so unrealistic

Love Arthur and this is an adorable part of the series ♥️

This is a fun book that teaches important lessons. It's perfect to remind students that homework does not have to be scary or a thing to dread. It could be a good way to teach the class that homework is not life threatning but something intended to help make students learn things better and that anyone could ask for help about homework or talk to the teacher to change the way they do homework.

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

Arthur plays the same role that the Berenstain Bears do for my K-4 students in life skills or autistic support classes.
