Arthur's Science Project
Arthur's Science Project is the ninth book in the Arthur's Family Values series.
Summary
When Arthur's mom takes over his science project, Arthur has to figure out how to make one on his own!
Plot
Friday afternoon, Arthur, Buster, Francine, and Muffy glumly talk to each other about a science project that is due on Monday. At home, Arthur tells his father about the project and how he already has it all planned out. Arthur's mother immediately draws up her own plan and takes Arthur to the hardware store to buy supplies. When they return home, Mom paints each of the planets. Arthur's friends come over and Mom shows them the finished project. Arthur calls Buster on the phone and asks him what to do, but he has no ideas. Arthur imagines he and his mother are astronauts, and that she is painting the planets different colors. Back in reality, Arthur makes his own project: a mobile. His mother apologises for getting carried away and jokes that they can turn in both projects so they both get extra credit.
