Cute story, but a little more stilted than the earlier Arthur books... the dynamics between Arthur and DW and the rest of the gang aren't as engaging. Still, this very popular aardvark manages to work in an important message without coming across as overly didactic. ( )

Arthur wants to save the planet, so he is working on a project for this purpose. Is his project actually turning him green?

Another good Arthur story.

“The next morning at preschool, D. W. worried about Arthur.

‘There’s a big machine that’s turning my brother green,’ D. W. told her friends.” ( )
