Author Notes

Author and illustrator, Marc Brown was born in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1946. He attended the Cleveland Institute of Art. After college, he worked numerous odd jobs before he began his career.

He is most renown for creating the Arthur series. The idea for Arthur, the aardvark came one night while telling his son a bedtime story. The first title in the series was "Arthur's Nose" written in 1976. Since then, Brown has written over thirty books in the Arthur Adventure series. D. W., Arthur's sister was another character created by Brown. In addition to writing, Brown also developed the Arthur television series on PBS.

Horn Book Review

Arthur the lovable aardvark refuses to believe that his little sister, D. W., can read until she proves it by reading ten words, which children can easily read through the pictorial context. The cartoonlike illustrations are humorous, inviting, and homey. The paperback edition includes stickers that can be matched to the colored words in the text, creating a rebus. (c) Copyright 2010.
