I really like the PBS show Arthur. Good thing my kids like it too, otherwise I'd probably watch it without them. We have a couple of Arthur books that the kids (and I) really like. The author, Marc Brown, always hides the names of his kids in his illustrations. I've been able to find them in all the books we own except one: Glasses for D.W.
When this book is chosen for a bedtime story, I end up taking it after the kids are asleep so I can obsessively search out the hidden names. I haven't found them. It's been months. I've even tried to cheat and Google it, but apparently no one else has had much trouble, or they just don't care enough to document their trouble on the internet.
I know it's a long shot, but if anyone out there in cyberspace owns this book and knows where these blasted names are, by all means, fill me in.

i know where they all are but since you didn't come to our garage sale, i can't share them with you. sorry.
I also LOVE Arthur. We have several of these books and never even knew there was hidden names in them. Maybe I'll go take a peak and see if I can't see something. What are his kids names so I know what to look for?
I love Arthur too... It's actually a really clever and funny show. I had no idea the names of the author's kids were in there. What are the names and I'll start looking?
The names are Talon, Tucker and Eliza.
And Holly, I don't believe you. But I'm sorry I didn't make it to your garage sale.
we actually sold a book that has all the answers to where the names are in the arthur books. i think it sold for 25 cents. you really missed out.
I'm totally going back through all of our Arthur books now. Sydney was afraid to go to Kindergarten because she thought she might get Mr. Ratburn for a teacher. Now, THAT'S scary.
