Calling all Arthur Fans!

Marc Brown and the folks at PBS Kids are searching for a new friend for Arthur and they want your ideas! The Arthur All Kids Can Character Search Contest, sponsored by CVS Pharmacy, runs from February 1 - March 31 and is open to kids ages 6 - 12. The creator of the winning entry will meet Marc Brown and appear on the Arthur television show.

Here's what you have to do: Create a character who will be a new friend for Arthur and the gang on their TV series. Give your character a name, decide what he or she will look like and what your character likes to do, eat, etc. Then, fill in the entry form and draw a picture of your character in the designated space on the form and mail it in. Be sure to ask your parents' permission and have them help fill out the entry form and sign it.

Visit Arthur's page on the PBS Kids web site to print out the entry form and read the official rules.
