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.

Kirkus Review

The species is novel but the story an old one: Arthur the aardvark doesn't like his nose, but when Dr. Louise the rhinologist (guess what kind of animal) lets him try on some others for size (chicken. . . fish. . . elephant. . . toucan. . .) he decides not to make a change after all. His friends, who used to laugh at him, now accept him as he is, for ""There's a lot more to Arthur than his nose""--but not much that makes him different from a menagerie of other picture book patients.
