Summary

D.W. has too many toys, so she has to give some to charity. She instead plans to give them to someone who really loves her, but Emily doesn't play along, and the Tibbles end up with the toys.

Plot

After D.W. presents a play about love, Grandma Thora comes with a new toy for her. D.W. is about to put it in the closet, when all her other toys fall on her. Mrs. Read plans to make D.W. give some of her toys away. D.W. gets upset thinking that her mom doesn't love her, and says that she will give all of her toys to someone who really loves her, to show to her mom. At the play school, D.W. announces that she is donating all of her toys, and also that before they get them they have to say how much they love her.  

The Tibble Twins then start to kiss up to D.W., but Emily is ashamed of how silly D.W. is acting, and refuses to take part. The Tibble Twins get all of D.W.'s toys, but when she sees they are playing rough with them, Emily catches D.W. crying over by the play structure and asks her what happened. D.W. says harsly to Emily "Like you care." and Emily doesn't like that at all, then D.W. storms off and doesn't take back what she said to Emily. She then goes to Arthur for help, who refuses.
