The next morning, D.W finds her fellow family members acting strangely. Mr. Read hasn't cooked any breakfast; when asked, he says he's afraid that he'll do it all wrong. Mrs. Read hasn't gotten dressed and can't take D.W. to her play date because she's too busy cleaning her office. Arthur will barely speak to her, claiming that he's afraid he'll use the wrong voice. | The next morning, D.W finds her fellow family members acting strangely.

D.W. decides that something needs to be done and she needs to be the one to do it. She becomes more polite, complimenting Mr. Read's cooking and asking him to try again. She offers her personal help in cleaning up Mrs. Read's office, which she happily accepts. She politely asks Arthur to read her another story when his voice is feeling better and he replies that it is. Finally, she tells Baby Kate that "It's still ''goo goo gaa gaa''... But I know you'll get it right soon!" | D.W. decides that something needs to be done and she needs to be the one to do it.

The back of the book feature a step-by-step recipe for a "Big Boss Cake Bake" (a.k.a Quick Chocolaty Cake.) This is illustrated with a slightly comic-style picture of D.W. telling Mr. Read "Needs more sugar, Dad!" | The back of the book feature a step-by-step recipe for a "Big Boss Cake Bake" (a.k.a Quick Chocolaty Cake.)
