Bookroo's summary
D.W. is determined to wear glasses like her brother Arthur, convinced that everything looks funny without them. Arthur humorously explains how a hat becomes a bat and string turns into a ring duck without his specs. As D.W. tries to prove her own vision is just as skewed, Arthur devises a clever way to help her see the truth. Will D.W. realize she doesn't need glasses after all, or will Arthur's plan backfire? Discover the playful sibling rivalry and the lesson in seeing things clearly.
From the publisher
D.W. wants to wear glasses, just like her big brother, Arthur. After Arthur explains that without his glasses a hat looks like a bat and some string looks like a ring duck, D.W. sets out to prove that everything looks funny to her, too. Finally, Arthur finds a way to make his sister see the situation a bit more clearly!
