Buster goes away for a month, and Arthur becomes sad and confused when he does not receive even one postcard from him.
When Arthur gets the hiccups, his family and friends try everything they can think of to make them go away.
Arthur promises to buy ice cream for his little sister, D.W., if she can read ten words. The twosome race to the park, where D.W. is quick to recognize signs such as ZOO, DON'T WALK, POLICE, and ICE CREAM. When she reads WET PAINT before her big brother does, Arthur is in for a colorful surprise!
Even though she has not been invited to the party, D.W. manages to save Arthur from having to kiss Francine.
D.W. is jealous when her big brother Arthur loses a tooth and gets a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Arthur explains that the Tooth Fairy comes only when you lose a tooth and put it under your pillow at night, so D.W. dreams up some hysterical (but unsuccessful) plans to trick her into coming. Finally, Arthur decides to reward D.W.'s efforts by playing Tooth Fairy himself! By matching picture stickers to words in the story, kids reinforce word recognition. With the extra stickers, they can create stories of their own.

Includes two pages of word stickers.
