I read "D.W. the Picky Eater" and in this story D.W does not like anything with pickles, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, eggplant, pineapple, parsnips, and cauliflower. Her picky eating habits make her miss out on all the fun dinners.Finnally D.W.decides to go out on Grandma thoras birthday and she has to pick out something on the menu.She picked the little bo peep pot pie. D.W. ate it while the whole family watched and drank all her drink. And D.W. said "Could I have this every night?" and her mom said "I'll need the recipe." I think you should read this if you're a picky eater.

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!

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.

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.

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."

Wonderful book for your little picky eater. My 4 year old is actually eating parsley now ! He is trying new food and finishes his plate , trying to be a "clean plate ranger" , thanks to this book

Our family loves all of the Arthur and D.W. stories, and this book seems to have particular resonance at this time, as two of my three kids are picky eaters. My four-year-old, my three-year-old, and my two-year-old all like to hear this story over and over again.

This was a good book, very encouraging to a little picky eater; motivated him to try some new things

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.

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!
