After re-reading just two Arthur books, I'm quickly reminded just how annoying his little sister, D.W., is. While it's cute at first that she wants eyeglasses like her brother, her constant pretending to have bad vision wears out its welcome.

As little sisters go, she's almost as bad as Karen in the Baby-Sitters Club books. (

fun book to have in class as this type of thing relates to a lot of kids at a young age who want to be and do stuff like their peers (

Book description

D.W. wants to wear glasses, just like her big brother, Arthur. After Arthur explains that without his glasses a hat looks like a bat and some string looks like a ring duck, D.W. sets out to prove that everything looks funny to her, too. Finally, Arthur finds a way to make his sister see the situation a bit more clearly!
