 The Mysterious of D.W.'s Precious Blankie November 11, 2006
... is why it's never seen in any of the other books. That being said, this is another delightful D.W. story.
D.W. badly wants her favorite Blankie, but can't find it. It's gone off-the-map and D.W.'s not going to be able to get to sleep without it. Arthur kindly agrees to help her out by taking her to some places where she might have left it. It's not at any of them, though. Later on, however, D.W. makes a surprising discovery about what happened. Will it change her feelings for Blankie?
I really like the illustrations in this book. I enjoy the pink stripes on D.W.'s outfit in the books (that aren't on the TV show) and this book takes it a step further on the cover by adding a blue speckle pattern to her pink jumpsuit. The story is warm and cute and perfect for any D.W. or Arthur fan.

I read "D.W.'s Lost Blankie". In this story D.W. lost her blanket. This story reminds me of when my little sister lost her bunny named Bunny and I gave mine to her. D.W. got upset and everyone helped D.W. look for Blankie. She goes to look at different places in town. D.W. couldn't sleep because Blankie is lost. Her mom opened the door and said "I have a surprise." You should read the book because everybody gets tired of hearing her cry.
d.w.'s lost blankie!! September 8, 2005
very good book...my daughter just turned two and she loves all the arthur & d.w. books! very easy to read and she sits through all of them. got in hardcover but would recommend board book format if it's offered for younger readers!! still loved it.=!
Oh, No... A Lost Blankie! July 13, 2005
This is not the sort of book that I typically pick out to read to my children (I'm not into 'franchises') but it is the sort of book that my 5 year-old daughter picks up all the time, and guess what? I like this story. (:-)
I like that Arthur is so understanding of D.W.'s loss and sense of urgency. I like that he is helpful without an adult telling him to be. He walks DW to the library and the car wash to see if the errant blankie might be there.
I also like that Arthur helps DW to use *logic* to try to deduce where she might have left the blankie.
Five Stars. These feelings of consideration and warmth are ones that I try to instill in my own children.
Humorous and sympathetic, a great pick July 15, 2004
Marc Brown's children's series on PBS is priceless; Arthur and his friends were introduced to us that way. It was only recently that I became aware of the books, which actually came first! Well, if you're a fan of the cartoon, you'll love the books even more. DW's Lost Blankie is a classic kind of story that all kids can relate to - who can't remember the sudden anxiety of losing their own blankie, or some favorite toy when they were very young? This is a short story with a light touch of humor which shows how they can deal with it, offers sympathy and reassurance and helps kids know how they can keep calm and work through tracking down that all important security object. My mom heard me reading it to my kids and laughed out loud at one point, it was so true to life. Author Marc Brown apparently illustrates his own books. His watercolors are warm, nicely done and perfectly suited to the subject matter. We really like his style in general, so my kids (aged 2 and 5) and I will be selecting more of his stories for our bedtime reading. Highly recommended for all children from early toddlerhood through the primary school years.
