D.W. Read

"See; some people see their glass half-full; others just wear glasses"

- Her to Arthur '''Dora Winifred "D.W." Read''' is Arthur's younger sister, Baby Kate's older sister, and a middle child in her family. She attends Elwood City Preschool. She is constantly seen bugging Arthur, walking into his bedroom without asking and attempting to blame him whenever something bad happens. However, she still shows feelings for her brother and does still care for him, despite frequently acting like a selfish little brat.

Only in the Living Books computer game versions of Arthur books (and Arthur's Thinking Games) is D.W. voiced by an actual female (the late Mary Kay Bergman in the latter). In the TV series and the film, Arthur's Missing Pal, she is voiced by boys, such as, at first, Michael Caloz, Oliver Grainger, Jason Szwimmer, Robert Naylor, and so on.
