When Arthur sees a television advertisement for the amazing doggy Treat Timer, he becomes convinced that it would be the perfect present for his puppy, Pal. Buying it means earning the money himself, and Arthur throws himself into the project with visions of how delighted Pal will be. But raising the cash brings difficulties of its own, and the promises of a television commercial may not tell the whole story. Marc Brown's illustrated Arthur adventure turns an everyday childhood wish into a humorous tale about working towards a goal and judging tempting advertisements. Familiar family exchanges and expressive pictures keep the story rooted in Arthur's warmly recognisable world.
