Im Arthur and Im seven, and the other day at Picket Lake, Grandpa and I
found a dog: a great big, hairy, grey and white dog. It was really friendly and
it looked a bit lost, so we took it home with us. Of course, I wanted to keep

About the series: Arthur is a seven-year-old boy who is brilliant at being a
seven-year-old-boy. When Arthur visits his grandparents house by the lake,
more often than not, he becomes entangled in a new adventure, which he must
solve with the help of his pet duck and useless dog and hopefully without too
much help from eccentric Cousin Eugene. These are witty stories full of
understated humour and populated by quirky yet recognisable characters, and
narrated by Arthur who has the rational worldview that comes exclusively from
being seven-years-old.
