Reach for this book when your preschooler is beginning to test boundaries at the dinner table or on the playground, and you want a playful way to reinforce basic etiquette. This story follows Arthur's younger sister, D.W., as she embarks on a mission to be 'perfect' for a day. By watching her navigate hygiene, polite conversation, and sharing, your child sees that manners are not just about rules, but about being a helpful and kind member of the family. D.W. is a relatable protagonist because she is not naturally perfect; she is energetic and sometimes stubborn. Her attempt to show off her good behavior to her big brother provides a lighthearted framework for teaching self-discipline and responsibility. It is an ideal choice for children ages 3 to 6 who are transitioning into 'big kid' social expectations and need a humorous, low-pressure model for positive behavior.
