D.W. the Picky Eater

Summary: No Spinach!
Review: I loved this book it is all about that phase we go through when we won't eat anything, and some of us never grow out of it.
It all starts when D.W. brings in the groceries with her mom. She tell her mom a long list of everything she won't eat, and number one on that list is spinach.D.W. is so picky that she won't eat anything at her house or a friend's house and especially not at a resturant.Her parents decide that they won't take D.W. to anymore resturants because of the tantrums she throws when they try to make her eat something.
Then their Grandma Thora's brithday comes around. D.W. doesn't want to be left out on her grandma's birthday so she promises that she will be nice at dinner.
They go to a resturant and D.W. tries to hide under the table so that the waiter doesn't see her, but it doesn't work and the waiter gives D.W. a kiddie menu to order off of instead of the grown up one. She orders a Little Bo Peep Pot Pie. She eats it and she likes it a lot. Then at the end the waiter tells her that it was made with spinach.
I think that this is a great book for kids because we all go through a phase when we are little where we won't eat anything, that's why I think that this is good for kids to read because it takes a funny view on the matter when the waiter tells D.W. that it is made from spinach.It also tells kids that it is ok to try new things and that you should because you may just like it. It's like they say, "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it."

Summary: Perfect!
Review: If I put my 2 year old daughter Madison to bed without this story, she'll say (in her limited vocab), "Mommy, wait!....D.W. Picky Eater!" The story follows Arthur Read's little sister D.W. (short for Dora Winifred), who refuses to eat a huge list of foods, but none more than dreaded spinach. The book follows D.W. as she eats dinner at a friends house and refuses to put sauce on her spaghetti, how she makes a huge scene at a restaurant by pounding her fist onto the spinach salad dish, and on to the triumphant end- when she unknowingly eats an entire pot pie filled with spinach and likes it. I've read it so many times I can turn the book away from me for the kids to see and recite it word for word. Pitiful? Perhaps. But, that's how much Maddy adores this book. All the D.W. books in the Arthur series are funny and cute- so much humor peppered throughout that even adults have to laugh.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
