From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2 Arthur the aardvark's younger sister returns in true D. W. fashion. She's obstinate, whiney, and totally irresistibleto Arthur and to his fans. Here the family is at the beach, and D. W. is determined to let every one know how miserable she is. She hates the beach, the water, the sun everything about the experience, until a wise and loving older brother forcefully coaxes her into the water. Families of rabbits and aardvarks bask in the sun or take shelter under colorful beach um brellas; children (except D. W.) build castles, swim, or play in the water. All the while, D. W. remains high and dryuntil the very end. The book is so expertly conceived that non-readers will be able to follow every moment of D. W.'s day, from unhappiness to de light. Youngsters will predict the end ing, but they'll still love seeing her about-face and relate to her fear of the unknown. D. W. and Arthur at the beachthey're sure to make a big splash with the preschool crowd as well as with beginning readers. Trev Jones, ``School Library Journal ''
