Arthur goes to camp and does not like it. He writes letters home telling his parents that he does not like it. He decides to go home but gets lost in the woods. He ends up back at camp with the last item his team needs for the scavenger hunt.

As a huge fan of the television series, I was greatly disappointed at the lazy and sub-par writing of the books. The illustrations are very poorly done as well (especially if you have older editions of the books). Not good. just watch the show; it's on at seven on PBS every morning.

I can remember when Arthur was just a book character and not a TV show. I used to own a copy of this book many years ago (the only Arthur book I actually owned).

It's a cute summer camp story - though looking back on it, I can't say I like the whole "girls trashing boys" in every competition they

had. Don't worry; it gets better in the end but you'll have to read for yourself to find out what happens.

The fifth Arthur book. The art has continued to evolve, and by this point Arthur should look quite familiar to viewers of the TV series. The story is that Arthur goes to camp, is sure that he will hate it--does hate it--but, in the end, he accidentally wins a scavenger hunt for his team, and

decides he loves camp. It's meant to be funny, I guess, but it doesn't work for me, and the story's not very interesting. Much boys vs. girls, followed by a new antagonist: an entire camp of villains. Not to my taste.

Arthur and his friends go to summer camp and he's homesick and wants to go home. There are little letters home to his parents throughout the book saying he's homesick and wants to go home -please come get him. Finally, he says he's not waiting any longer he thinks he remembers the way home. Good

book for parent and child to share together. The book is colorful, well illustrated and interesting to look at. The letters home are cute and the end of the story what happens to make Arthur like camp is funny.
