Arthur's class is holding a poetry contest. When Fern is the only one who enters, she dares Arthur and his friends to write a poem - or else enroll in the poetry club for a whole year! They quickly agree to the challenge but discover that writing poetry is much harder than they thought. Will Arthur, Buster, Francine and Muffy be able to write poems good enough to read in front of the whole class?
Differences between the book and the cartoon
In the cartoon, Fern says that Binky couldn't write a poem even if he tried. In the book, she says he couldn't if his life depended on it.
