Books named after kids

We've tried to find children's books with our kid's names in them. It's a little harder than it sounds. Margaret Willey has a series of books about Clever Beatrice. Simon is a bit luckier with a Salmon for Simon and It's Simple said Simon. Poor Graham has been out of luck, with not a book to his name. Poor lad. All three of those books are quite worth reading if you have someone in the 2-6 year old zone. It would be nice to find some kind of database that linked names to kid's books. Kid's just love to see their own names in books. Some names are harder, with mine I would never hope to see anything. If anyone knows a book with a character named Graham, please let me know.

We have a few Graeme Base books and they are good. It's funny he doesn't get all that excited about Graham crackers being GRAHAM crackers, he jut likes to eat them. Keep those eyes peeled.

Re: Beezus. Come on now, we live just down the street from the library with the big Ramona map and the park with the Ramona statue. You can be sure these will be a staple in a few years.

Re: Facts of Life Jo. Did you ever have a snobby adversary later turned best pal? That would be a crazy coincidence.

Oh man, I hope you don't have a crazy up and down relationship and get into disputes over boys.
