Finn for Readers' Favorite Arthur's combination of smarts and na�vet� makes him an easy dog to love, especially since he continually strives to improve and embraces everyone in the farm family, even the shifty cats. The supporting cast, most notably O'mamma and Mr. Cliff, help round out Arthur's world. Vagreti's black-and-white drawings, which precede each chapter, deliver sharply defined images of, for example, tired dogs luxuriating in a human bed and the classic canine smile.
