The introduction begins with a fantasy, showing [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] riding in a canoe and being stepped on by a giant [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] In real life, D.W. tells Arthur that he can’t go to camp this year, because the whole family is going on vacation to the beach. | The introduction begins with a fantasy, showing [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] riding in a canoe and being stepped on by a giant [[D.W.

They have lunch at a burger joint. Since they sold the last burgers to a group of bikers, the Reads gets the “Chef’s Special”, which looks disgusting. D.W. starts a conversation with the bikers. When the family drives on, D.W. has a burger, while everyone else is munching sadly on chocolate bars. | They have lunch at a burger joint.

There is a thunderstorm at night, and the roof leaks. It also rains the next day. Arthur wishes he was at camp with Buster. However, matters eventually start to get better when Arthur gets an idea from looking in a rolled-up newspaper (which he had originally planned to go after D.W. with, as she had accidentally hit him on the head while trying to smack a fly). The Reads visit a cow festival, go on a safari, take a tour of [[Flo's Fudge Factory]], and go to see a movie. | There is a thunderstorm at night, and the roof leaks. It also rains the next day.
