“Believe
in yourself, that’s the place to start”
Arthur
and friends deal with the excitement of caring for new pets and the
challenges of losing beloved animals in this collection of
three all-new Arthur episodes.
In Francine
and the Feline, Francine’s father finds a cat at the
junkyard and brings him home.
Francine becomes quite attached to her new pet,
prompting an argument between Francine and Arthur. In
Hide and Snake, the kids stumble upon a snake and
sneak it into Arthur's home. Panic sets in when Brain thinks
that the snake could be poisonous and the kids discover the
snake has escaped!
DW’s pet parakeet, Spanky, dies in So Long, Spanky!.
DW deals with the death of her beloved pet, and the
affections of a lonely frog.
Arthur
episodes, based on Marc Brown's best-selling books, deal
with the challenges of growing up in creative, meaningful
ways. This DVD is no exception. Another DVD featuring
all-new episodes released at the same time as Arthur's
Pet Follies is Arthur Saves the Day,
another excellent collection featuring 3 episodes with help
and rescue themes.
Favorite Arthur titles now available on DVD are: Arthur Makes the Team and Arthur's Lost Library Book.
