David

David's teacher has her hands full. From running in the halls to chewing gum in class, David's high-energy antics fill each school day with trouble, and are sure to bring a smile to even the best-behaved reader.

David doesn't mean to get in trouble. It's not his fault. Most of the time, it's just an accident! Or maybe he forgot something. Or some furniture got in the way.

When David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were these words: NO, DAVID! . . . and a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do. All he hears from his mother as he breaks his mother's rules is "No, David!", "That's enough, David!", and "Settle down!"

Now David is all grown up. But some things never change. . . .

No, David! remains a perennial household favorite, delighting children, parents, and teachers alike. David is a beloved character, whose unabashed good humor, mischievous smile, and laughter-inducing antics underline the love parents have for their children - even when they misbehave. Children will find his outrageously bad behavior both funny and liberating as they see themselves in him.

David Shannon escribió e ilustró su primer libro cuando tenía cinco años, y en cada página del libro aparecía la frase "¡No, David!" y alguna imagen de David haciendo algo indebido. Hoy en día, David es más grande. Pero algunas cosas nunca cambian.
