Arthur is delighted when he finally gets his new puppy, Pal, but Pals accidents in the house and all-night barking make life miserable for the entire family, until Arthur comes up with a solution.
作者简介 Marc Brown, who was born in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1946, received great encouragement and support from his grandmother and uncle. Inspired by the books of Maurice Sendak, Brown decided to pursue his ambition of becoming an illustrator. After receiving a B.F.A. in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art, he worked as a TV art director, a professor of mechanical drawing, and a freelance illustrator, before becoming a writer. In his books, he addresses the fears and problems which children face and events like friendship, family, school and pets. For his illustrations, Brown uses pencil with watercolor on a variety of papers to achieve different visual effects. The "Arthur" series, about the everyday adventures of a lovable aardvark, began in 1976 and continues to this day with 25 titles published. Brown has also created other series such as the "Rhymes" series, and the nonfiction "Dinosaur" series, which conveys messages of do's and don'ts. These series, like the stories of Arthur, hold the attention of young children while transporting their imaginations on magical journeys.

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.

From Kirkus Reviews
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. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
专业书评 From Publishers Weekly
PW praised this 18th entry in the Arthur series, saying, "Brown entertains fans with a typically blithe narrative, bolstered by full-page pictures brimming with kid-tickling particulars." Ages 4-8.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Arthur's new puppy wreaks so much havoc that the boy fears his parents will send the dog away. When Dad banishes Pal to the garage, the garage key mysteriously disappears. D.W. isn't very optimistic about the animal's future, but her brother insists that he can train him. Arthur then teaches the puppy to sit, stay, lay down, and perform tricks in less than a week. A predictable but satisfying ending finds Pal performing for an appreciative audience and retrieving the missing key. While experienced dog owners may find the speedy transformation unbelievable, a slight twist redeems the ending. Brown's watercolor and ink-line illustrations successfully capture the chaos. Series fans as well as uninitiated readers will find the book's humor and warmth appealing.
