Everyone Needs A Friend!

Is it possible for a goat and a hen to be friends? Arthur, the talking goat who lives on a farm with his owners Sam and Sally, is back. Sam talks to Arthur every day, but Arthur is lonely and sad because he does not have an animal friend. The chickens have other chickens for friends. The dog and the cat are friends, and the cow and the horse are friends. Even the llamas have each other for friends. One day a fox comes out of the woods and starts killing the chickens until there is only one hen named Hazel left. When the fox chases her, she flies into Arthur's pen for safety. What might happen when a goat and a hen live in the same pen?


Arthur and Hazel were actual animals who lived at Bethlehem Retreat Farm, a division of the House of Bethlehem Ministry and Missions International located in southwestern Virginia.

Author Daisy Cromwell weaves an enchanting tale of friendship that children will find fascinating. Daisy is a matron at Bethlehem Retreat, and yes, she says that Arthur and Hazel did become friends after all the other chickens vanished. The colorful, eye-catching illustrations by Bethany Blankenship are based on original characters that were created by Daisy's grandson, Cameron L. Paxton, who illustrated the first book. Arthur's Friend Hazel the Hen is a very warm and friendly book for young people.
