D.W. Learns Kindness From Her Baby Sister

In "D.W., Go to Your Room!" D.W. is playing with her baby sister, Kate, but doesn't want to share her blocks. When she shouts at Kate and threatens to pinch her, she gets sent straight up to her room! D.W. thinks that this is a very unfair punishment. She compares herself to a "prisoner" and a "servant girl." She even dreams of running away with Grandma Thora. But when D.W. is asked to look after Kate while Mom makes dinner, D.W. realizes just how mean she was. This is a sweet story for anyone with a younger / baby sibling, or for any Arthur or D.W. fan. Arthur doesn't really feature in this book, though he is seen a few times.

It's Blockalicious

In D.W. Go To Your Room! Kate knocks down D.W.'s blocks. Mom says D.W. go to your room! So D.W. stomps up to her room. It reminded me of when my little brother knocked my blocks down. But you should read this book because it's blockalicious. If you like blocks and your brother or sister knocks your blocks down, You will love it!

All Arthur Books Are Treasures But This One Does Something I Particularly Like

Here as in all of Mr. Brown's spectacular Arthur series you'll find a fun tale, illustrations you want to keep looking at to find all the little details, and the story of the goings-on in the (mis)adventures of the old familiar characters, but in this one there's something more that's especially neat. After DW gets sent to her room for hurting Baby Kate and generally acting up, she at first broods over what she feels like is her unfair lot in life, and then Brown gets really cool and makes you think about the way a child DW's age experiences time in relation to how an adult does. To DW as to all children, ten minutes banishment is a gulf of quasi-intolerable length and if a grown-up stops to think about that, it's a fairly deep topic, this perception of time.

d.w., go to your room!

great book....even my 2 yr old daughter loves it and she has had it since she was one....easy to read!! got it in hardcover. I recommend board book format if offered for younger readers.

You've got to love D.W.

This is a story about Arthur's little sister, D.W., who manages to be funny and entertaining even when she's in trouble. D.W. is punished for being mean to her little sister, Baby Kate. She is sent to her room, where she ruminates over her treatment, until she finally realizes her life isn't so bad after all. As usual with Marc Brown, the story is funny and well-written. And it teaches a lesson.My two-year-old daughter loves D.W. and really loved this book.
