No, David!

"No, David" wails the off-stage mother as David reaches for the cookie jar. "No! No! No!" as he makes a swamp out of the bathroom. "Come back here, David!" as he runs naked down the street. Each vivid double-page illustration is devoted to a different youthful indiscretion and a different vain parental plea. Readers will be amused to know that the protagonist's name is no accident: award-winning writer-illustrator David Shannon wrote the book after discovering a similar effort that he had made, again with himself at the center of each drawing, at the age of 5. A Children's Bookshelf Selection: Each month our editors pick the best books for children and young adults by age to be a part of the children's bookshelf. These are editorial recommendations made by our team of experts.
