“Arthur Helps Out” is one of the most recent in a series of large paperback “Arthur” stories targeted at slightly younger audiences than the Arthur Adventure books, or the chapter books based on the TV episodes. “Arthur Helps Out” finds Arthur wanting to go out and play, but it turns out theres some work hes been putting off that has now caught up to him. He has to clean out his room, give Pal a bath, deal with the trash and more. Only once hes completed all of this can he go play, but all of the work is rather tiring. Like all other releases in this set, all pages are fully illustrated. The story is fairly simple, but good enough to hold interest. The illustrations are also fairly well-detailed, with things to read and small side-gags. Overall, another fine addition to the ever-growing collection of “Arthur” books.
