David

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.

David's mommy always said . . . Oh, David! Even when he was a toddler, mischief-making David needed to be told to "Sit still!", "Open up!", and "Go to sleep!".

Hey! What's that smell?! Join David as he discovers the five senses: touch, hear, see, smell, and taste. From petting the dog to banging on a drum, David knows how to have a good time.

The star of the bestselling No, David! turns Christmas traditions upside down with laugh-aloud humor.

Readers of all ages will vividly remember trying to peek at hidden gift packages; writing scrolls of wish lists to Santa; and struggling to behave at formal Christmas dinner parties. Always in the background, we know Santa Claus is watching, soon to decide if David deserves a shiny new fire truck or a lump of coal under the tree. From playing with delicate ornaments to standing in an endlessly long line for Santa, here are common Christmas activities, but with David's naughty trimmings. A surefire hit that is destined to be an annual classic.
