This is a super cute tie-in book! I found this in my childhood closet as I was doing some cleaning. I remember not enjoying Arthur as a kid and being forced to watch it, so I did NOT enjoy this book at all.

Now, I can easily see it's a sweet, cute book full of rock'n'roll and kids characters love. It was definitely a hit! It's fun, full of colourful pictures and super cute. Also, the Backstreet Boys!

Three out of five stars.
