Be sure to look for the first book in the series, Arthur the talking Goat. Arthur lives on a farm with his owners, Sam and Sally. Sam taught Arthur to talk but Arthur was still very sad because he had no animal friends. This book is about how a chicken, named Hazel the Hen, becomes Arthurs friend. Arthur and Hazel were real animals on the Bethlehem Retreat Farm in beautiful southwestern VA. Llamas and lots of other animals can be seen on the farm. Bethlehem Retreat is a part of the House of Bethlehem Ministry & Missions, International.
