D.W. Flips is a Marc Brown book from the Arthur series. D.W. goes to a tumbling class but thinks it's for babies. She soon finds out she has a lot to learn, and finally masters flipping. Only to find out there is more to learn. D.W. is a cute character and little girls will love this book about tumbling, and the cute pictures. The lesson is practice makes perfect, but there's always more to learn too. I think it's a good book for little girls, and too cute.
Flip, Flip, Flip!

In this early D.W. book, "D.W. Flips!" D.W. is signed up for a gymnastics class. She wants to do really exciting stuff and is upset that she's been placed in a baby class! She soon finds, however, that gymnastics isn't as easy as it sounds. The illustrations on this early book are different on the Arthur / D.W. books you'll see today. They're more "rough" in a way and have softer-coloring. Nevertheless, they possess a certain charm all their own. D.W. fans in particular won't want to miss this.

D.W fliips is a great book for young children. If your children are intrested in the Arthur series then this is a good book for them. In this book DW learns the importance of following saftey rules in her gymnastics class. She also has to face pressure from other gymnastics' members. Learning how to follow saftey rules is important for any child, participating in any sport. They learn lessons right along with DW, without being preached at, or having to face the problem themselves. The story is realistic, and in my own gymnastics career, problems similar to DW's often occur. If your child is not intrested in Arthur, gymnastics or sports of any kind, then I would recommend buying a different book that they would appreciate more.
