It's D.W.! And a Gerbil! Lots to Love.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This one is titled as an Arthur story, but it's really D.W. who steals the show. She's asked to take care of a preschool pet, a gerbil named Speedy, over the Christmas holiday. (A situation that may be familiar to many readers.) Although Arthur's helpful to her, he also discourages her idea of teaching the gerbil tricks. But this doesn't stop D.W.! In addition to the good, original story, the book also includes wonderful illustrations and dedicated readers will be able to spot the name of at least one of Marc Brown's children. Recommended for Arthur fans and a must for D.W. fans.
