Goofs
The Elwood City Public Library has a sign that says "NO TALKING" during the intro to "D.W.'s Library Card". However, when D.W. demands she wants Hopalong the Frog, she is heard being a nuisance and doing it in front of librarian Ms. Turner who's at her desk. So really, D.W. would be caught and ordered to be quiet or leave the library for causing a nuisance in places with these noise-ordinance rules.

Ignore the "great" reviews

This episode teaches kids wrong. Arther punches dw. COME ON NOT KID FRIENDLY!! This show is making content for 11 year olds when their audiences are aged 4-7. Like, come on what do those ages have in common. There is one 5 star review but look what dw has done. She ruined something really special to Arthur. And yet Arthur gets yelled at? I have a twin sister, and we get into fights. This is teaching children that having a fight only once with you twin/ sibling is bad enough. Everything about this episode sucks and the show, like one episode Arthur is trying to tell children to get the big bully at school to punch your lose tooth out and don't care about your own bruise? It is different with deku from mha but still? Mha is targeted at tweens. While arthur is targeted at little tiny kiddos. Try better.
