About the Game

Explore and share Marc Brown’s classic, "D.W. The Picky Eater", adapted from the original storybook into an interactive animated adventure! D.W. and her entire family bring the story alive one word at a time, offering an easy to digest reading mode which is fully animated and voiced. Increase the challenge and the fun with an interactive at-your-own-pace option with lots of bonuses and secrets to discover!

The story centers around D.W., who is an aardvark, and the younger sister of Arthur. D.W. is wary of trying any new foods and would rather stick to plain spaghetti noodles or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When her family decides to celebrate at a restaurant and she is served a spinach salad, she causes a scene and embarrasses her family. Afterwards, she is banned from going to any restaurants, until she changes her attitude. D.W. starts to worry...what about Grandma Thora’s birthday dinner? Can D.W. reconcile her misgivings and give something new a chance?
