 "At the Chinese Restaurant! It Was Fun!" "D.W. Began to Wonder What She Was Missing." November 20, 2006

"D.W. the Picky Eater" finds D.W. not wanting to try new foods. She's very picky --- she has a list of foods that she doesn't like and if she even thinks a food has any of it in it, she won't eat it. D.W. is fine with this at first, but soon realizes it's a problem.br /br /This story is totally relatable. I'm something of a picky eater myself --- like D.W., I don't like tomato sauce on spaghetti. (Though I will do soy sauce.) Perhaps D.W. can be an inspiration to get kids (or anyone) to try some new foods. D.W. unknowingly tried something with something that she "didn't like" in it and found that she did like it after all.

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.

D.W. The Picky Eater is as funny as a parent playing a prank on a kid. First this book is funny because D.W. won't eat anything that stares at her or has eyes. Secondly D.W. won't eat spaghetti with the tomato sauce on it she will only eat it plain without the parsley. In a picture D.W is feeding her seafood surprise to her dog. The last reason you should read this book to your child is it will teach them to try food even if they think they don't like it.

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. brIt 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.brThen 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. brThey 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. brI 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."
