message: Now that this article has been renamed to match its content which covers the entire franchise (characters, books, TV, audio, etc), I think WP would benefit from an article dedicated to Where's Spot? book itself.  There seems to be plenty of information about Eric Hill's initial development of that original book, as well as critical reaction and impact on the children's book genre. -- Netoholic @  03:42, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest not. Adding a bit more background information into this article would improve it, and I don't think the first book is that distinct from the other books and all the other stuff that it really justifies fragmenting the topic's coverage on Wikipedia. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:31, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
