No, David!






 

No, David!

by David Shannon
Scholastic, Inc.

No matter what little David does, his mother's reply is always the same: "No, David!" "That's enough, David!" "Come back here, David!" But despite the broken vase, the muddy carpet, and David's other mishaps, his mother pulls him close, and with a warm embrace, tells him, "Yes, David...I love you!" Inspired by a semiautobiographical story Shannon wrote as a child, this charming picture book is packed with fun-filled chaos, as well as a loving, reassuring message for parents and children alike. The raucous illustrations of little David doing everything he's not supposed to do are certain to charm both adults and children.

As you read: Why is David's mother always saying "No" to him? What does he do to make his mother say "No"?

After: What does David's mother say to him at the end of the story?
