D.W. All Wet

This book was good because of the illustrations and the theme. The illustrations really help the reader visualize what is going on. There are minimal words and good descriptive pictures, this is good for young readers. For example, there is a picture of D.W and Arthur splashing and the word SPLASH right next to it. This can be helpful for a student just starting to read who needs visual cues. I also like the theme in this story. D.W overcomes her fear of the water and swimming. This would be great for a little kid who's never been to the beach and may have the same fears as the character. At the end she overcomes her fear. Overall the moral of the story is to step out of your boundaries sometimes.

D.W. All Wet uses familiar characters to show kids how to be brave and face their fears. As D.W. is at the beach, she soon realizes that it isn't as scary as she first thought and even wants to go back again! Kids are often scared of the unknown and can even realize they love the thing they thought they were scared of.

D.W. has a very negative outlook on going to the beach with her family although she has never played in the ocean before. Without trying it out, she refuses to get in or play anywhere near the water. Arthur, D.W.'s brother, takes her for a ride on his shoulders, ultimately running them both into the water. After realizing the the water is not scary, D.W. has so much fun and does not want to leave.

I like that this book teaches kids not to "knock it before you try it." I still don't like his writing because it's very disconnected to me. Still, the picture support helps this a bit.

In D.W. All Wet, D.W. and her family go to the beach for the day to have fun together. However, D.W. is stubborn to participate in the fun activities, instead choosing to sulk and complain. But, when Arthur, her brother, brings her into the water, she realizes how much fun she is having. D.W. even wants to come back the next day for more. I think the moral of this story is to be open and accepting to new ideas, something that is often hard for young children.

This is the author's website that includes rersources for student, teachers, and other outlets for information.

The main idea of this book is to always try something before you say you don't like it. One thing I like about this book is the big brother taking a leap of faith to try and help his sister get in the water. I also like the page when she gets in the water and "floated, flipped and dunked" because it has a picture of her doing each thing also with the words.

I read the book but this is in thier datbase. This book is great for fledling or young readers because there are few words per page and they are simple and easily read. The plot is intresting and is easily comprehended. The plot is DW is taking a trip to the beach and will not get in the water or enjoy herself to much. The only thing she will do is let author carry her on his shoulders. While walking with DW on his shoulders Arthur suddenly throws DW in the water and she finds that she likes the water and loves the beach. to find info on this author go to amazon.com
