Ages 3-6. Brown is back with another sure-to-be-popular story about "personable" Arthur, the likable aardvark. This time, however, it's Arthur's new puppy, Pal, who's the star of the show. Cute, cuddly Pal is driving Arthur and his family to distraction--he's chewing up the furniture, dribbling in the house, digging up the yard, howling when he's lonely, and refusing to be walked on a leash. It appears he's destined for the garage--until Arthur intercedes and teaches him some proper manners. As usual, Brown's sweet, colorful illustrations sparkle with humor and child appeal, and his message (to prospective puppy owners) comes through loud and clear.

Both Arthur and his little sister D.W. are featured in two new titles. In D.W. Rides Again! (ISBN: 0-316-11356-5), baby Kate gets the trike while Arthur is all condescending big brother in detailing safety rules for D.W., who's learning how to ride her bike without training wheels: a useful summary whose didacticism is nicely defused by its good humor. In Arthur's New Puppy, the tables are turned: now it's D.W. who comes up with comically sensible comments as Arthur learns to cope with his lively new pet (```Look, he's so excited,' said Arthur. `Look at your pants,' said D.W. `You have excitement all over them'''). For a while it's not clear whether Pal is ``just a baby'' or a ``problem puppy,'' but after a suitable amount of comic mayhem, the equable aardvark family's good sense prevails once again. An appealing pair. (Picture book. 4-8) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Arthur is thrilled when he gets a new puppy. He's had a lot of experience with pets so he knows they're as much work as they are fun. Even so, when Pal tears the living room apart, wets on everything, and refuses to wear his leash, Arthur gets worried. His parents are unhappy with Pal's behaviour and even D.W. seems ready to banish the boisterous puppy to the garage. What if Arthur can't control Pal - and Pal gets sent away to live on a farm? Readers of all ages will laugh out loud as they follow Pal's progress from mischievious scamp to dog show material under the loving guidance of his owner, Arthur. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .
