Mouse Arthur, dressed like a knight, calls for his daddy when his castle collapses, when he falls down, when he catches a "monster" while fishing; each time, Dad calmly comes to the rescue. As thanks, Arthur gives his dad "the biggest hug in the whole kingdom!" While the story and art are sentimental, the pair's love for each other is clear.
