Arthur Weighs In

==Summary==
Arthur doesn't fit into his costume for the play and is shocked to learn that he's now "husky-sized." He wants to get in shape, but is he ready to try something as radical as ... exercise?
==Plot==
Arthur is supposed to be playing a seemingly rich character in the school play. He is told to come to Mr. Ratburn, along with everybody else, showing him his costume. Arthur's costume doesn't fit, so he can't show him his costume.
Arthur goes to a clothing store, where he buys a new suit. He is too embarrassed to show the rest of the cast.
Arthur talks to Mr. Ratburn, where he tells him a short tale of his own past. Arthur's class were each given a pedometer to track the steps they have taken a day. Mr. Ratburn told the class to aim for 10,000 steps a day, which is much more than Arthur's.
Arthur begins to do more exercise, with the help of his friends and family, and even Pal. As a result, Arthur is able to fit into his costume, and he and D.W. give each other a high five. At the play, Arthur performs wonderfully (using a tip from his sister).

Arthur and D.W. Clean Up/Transcript

=== # ===
Mr. Read: The important thing is to try to work together. That’s the only way this will work.
Arthur: How can we work together when she won’t let me put things away?
D.W.: Can I say something?
Mrs. Read: Arthur, D.W. helped you clean your room, so now it’s up to you to return the favor.
D.W.: I have something to say.
Arthur: But, I'm missing Happy Crazy...whatever-it-is Day!
Mr. Read: That’s not D.W.’s fault. If you'd cleaned your room when you were supposed to, Arthur, you wouldn't have this problem.
D.W.: I have something to say.
Mrs. Read: What is it, D.W.?
D.W.: Is it okay if I just cleaned my room myself?
Mr. Read: What?!
D.W.: Can I just clean by myself, please? Please? I don't want Arthur touching my things.
Mr. Read: Well, I think...
Mrs. Read: Yes, thanks, D.W.. That's a wonderful idea.
Arthur: Yes! Thanks, D.W.. Whoo-hoo!     He runs out the door. On the staircase he pauses and comes back.   D.W., are you sure you don't need any help?
D.W.: No. First of all, you have cooties. Second of all, I think you'd be sad if you didn't go to the park. And third of all, you have cooties.
Arthur: Thanks.
=== # ===
Francine: Why were you so late, Arthur? You almost missed it.
Arthur: It was all D.W.’s fault. She… Well… I guess it’s kind of my fault. I hadn’t cleaned my room for a while.
Brain: I’ve done that too. One time my mom wouldn’t let me do any extra credit projects until I cleaned it up.   
Buster: Why can’t I have your mom?
Mr. Frensky comes with pointy sticks and a large sack.
Mr. Frensky: Hey, nice of you kids to stick around. You know what they say: “Many hands make light work”.
Buster has a fantasy in which he has ten arms (four on each side and two instead of ears).
Buster: Cool.
Arthur: It’s not what you think.
Mr. Frensky: Working together will make things go a lot faster.
Arthur: (sighs)  So I’ve heard.

Arthur and the Baby

Arthur and the Baby, originally published as Arthur's Baby, is the 12th book in the Arthur Adventure series. It was written and illustrated by Marc Brown, and published by Little, Brown and Company, on November 30, 1987.
It became adapted into episode 11 of Season 1 with the same title, plus its direct sequel D.W.'s Baby.
==Trivia==
* This is Kate's (who's an additional member of the Read family) first appearance. Even though this is her introduction in the series, many of the earlier books were even sequels to this book, and Kate wasn't a character until this book.
* In 2011, the title was changed to Arthur and the Baby. This is due to the fact that Kate is Arthur's sister while a person's baby literally refers to her/his own kids.
===Goofs===
* In the living room scene where D.W. diapers her dolls for practice, the stairs were next to the living room door like the previous books; but in the later scenes, the stairs were moved over to the far back as a redesign in the TV series.
* When David and Jane Read said that they're waiting 6 months for the baby to arrive, Arthur was wearing glasses, even though the events of Arthur's Eyes seem to take place only approximately a month and a half before Kate was born.

He decides he'll just have to go out and play in the yard instead and D.W. joins him. Arthur helps D.W. get dressed in her snowsuit and then two then head outside.
Arthur starts to build a snowman. D.W., however, is so bundled up that she can barely move in all the snow and demands they go back inside. Arthur gives in and brings her back in, but wants to go back outside. She, however, asks to play a game of Tower of Cows. Arthur agrees to the game and after they finish gets up to go back outside, but D.W. then asks him to read her a book. He again gives in and reads her the story [lMr. Bunny while she sits on the couch with Pal and listens.
Arthur hears the snowplow come by and is excited that he can finally go out sledding. However, he then gets a phone call, which turns out to be Francine, telling him how great the sledding was and that he should have been there. As she enjoys hot chocolate and cookies with Buster, Muffy, The Brain and Binky, Arthur looks sad.
Mr. Read asks Arthur if he's ready, but Arthur tells him he already missed all the fun. Mr. Read, however, says that he thought he might like to try out the new sled, showing him a fancy sled that looks like a lot of fun. Arthur is excited and the group heads out to the hill, Arthur sliding in the new sled while the rest of his family, including Pal, slides joyfully behind him in another sled. They then all enjoy hot chocolate at home in front of the fireplace, Mrs. Read commenting that good things are sometimes worth waiting for.
==Trivia==
*The back of the book features a board game called "Downward Racers." The game is played using coins for game pieces and a coin to flip to determine how many spaces to move on each turn.
