Customer Reviews

Simple but well-done: picky eaters relate to D.W., and actually improve their ways

I swear this book helped my little picky eater. She could relate well to D.W.'s fussiness around food, and she was able to see, thanks to the book, that part of being a picky eater is simply silly. The picky eater is nervous about foods of a certain look, name, or color. But lo and behold! When they actually eat the food, they often like it. We read this one to our 3-4 year old countless times and it improved her ways with food. That alone was well worth the price of the book. Secondly it introduced us to the Arthur series of books, which my daughter has continued to love. It's a high-quality series and this is one of its best.

If the shoe fits.

My 5 year old boy, WAS so picky eating, that his intake was limited to hotdogs, spaghetti, macaroni and pizza. After reading this book, not only does he love spinach on Little beep pot pies, sandwiches and salads, he also eats seafood, chinese food, sushi and anything else that he has not tried before.

Great book for kids of all ages!

My 22 month old daughter loves the D.W. books within the Arther book series by Mark T. Brown. D.W. is a great little character full of spunk and curiosity and I must admit that I enjoy reading about her along with my daughter! This book is one of her favorites and must be read every night at bedtime or like a previous reviewer stated, she says "Mommy, D.W. Picky Eater" until I agree to read it. She has even memorized parts of it and pretends to "read" it herself. It is a delightful book that will soon become a favorite of any child's library even if he or she is not within the recommended age group that this book calls for.

Perfect!

This is a great book for children ages 3-8. The pictures are absoloutely wonderful with a lot of detail and nice color. My seven year old sister makes me read it to her every single night, and doubles over laughing!! A MUST READ!

The Best Book!

This book is a great book with hilarious text and the cutest pictures. My younger sister who has just turned seven makes me read it every night to her and always has a laughing attack! It's her favorite book! I like the pictures a lot since they have a lot of detail and nice color. Our compliments to Mr. Brown!
