D.W. The Picky Eater

D.W. The Picky Eater is an interactive, animated adaptation of Marc Brown’s storybook. You follow D.W., an aardvark and Arthur’s younger sister, as she faces her reluctance to try new foods. The game includes a fully animated and voiced reading mode, as well as an interactive mode you can play at your own pace.

D.W.’s story

D.W. prefers plain spaghetti noodles and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to unfamiliar foods. When her family celebrates at a restaurant, she makes a scene after being served a spinach salad, embarrassing her family. They ban her from going to restaurants until she changes her attitude, leaving her worried about whether she will be able to attend Grandma Thora’s birthday dinner. The story follows her as she considers giving something new a chance.

Read and explore

The story unfolds one word at a time in reading mode, while the interactive mode offers a greater challenge and lets you explore at your own pace. You can interact with the pictures to find hidden scenes, secrets and bonuses, and encounter familiar characters from Arthur’s storybooks. Animations bring the characters to life, and the scenes are voiced as you read.
