From Carey Blyton - acclaimed composer, travel writer and the creator of Bananas in Pyjamas - come two stories about Arnold, the little dog with the enormous bark! In the first story, 'Arnold Meets a New Friend', Arnold discovers that the new family moving in down the street includes Raffles, a large and rather snooty Afghan hound. Arnold, though, finds friendship from a more unexpected source: a giant marmalade cat called Apricot! In the second story, 'Arnold and the Acorns', Arnold and Apricot find acorns dropping on their heads from a great height, courtesy of the local grey squirrel, while Apricot shows just how brave he is when faced with a mouse! Join Arnold in his adventures and meet his new friends as you read these doggy tales, deftly illustrated by Maurice Stevens.
