Their adventure then begins in earnest but they use their initiative and enlist the help of a friendly bus driver who helps them return safe and sound to their family.Arthur Lost and Found is a book that highlights one of the many fears both adults and children harbour and in a relaxed and enjoyable way raises issues which can then be discussed further.
