When it comes to books, Zoey is a creature of habit. She'll find a book and, if she likes it, she'll want to read all the books by that particular author. We went through a Dr. Seuss phase and have read a great deal of The Berenstain Bears books (Seriously, who could read them all? They've put out something like 15,000 different titles.). We've also plowed through most of the Curious George books.
But lately we've been reading another well-known character. The books are good and teach decent life lessons (or at least the morals one can learn from a talking aardvark). But I can't stand the main character's little sister. She is annoying, a buzz kill, and a total jerk. Don't know who I'm talking about?

Yes, I'm talking about Arthur's obnoxious little sister, D.W.
It doesn't matter if Arthur's trying to start a pet business or getting ready to meet the President, D.W. is along for the ride, offering words of discouragement and being a major pain in the ass.
I've started a write-in campaign to Marc Brown in the hopes he will pen Arthur Bitchslaps D.W. Who's with me?
Who do you think is the most annoying character in kids' books?
