No, David!
David Shannon
The Blue Sky Press: 1998
ISBN: 0-590-93002-8
There is no question as to why No, David! won the Caldecott Honor in 1998. This was a book that I remember reading as a kid and it is a book that I would like to read to my child someday. Even the student at the library who checked in my books remembered it! It is a must read for Danielle.In No, Daivd!, David is running around the house having a good day! He is doing anything he wants to, but what does his Mommy think of this? Please read No, David! to find out what happens!
I would personally give this book a 10 out of 10. It teaches a valuable lesson to children and the pictures are funny on every page. I was sitting there even laughing at all of the silly things that David does. The words are big on every page and the pictures are very graphic. As you can see from the picture above, Shannon uses a lot of bright oranges and blues in his illustrations to grab a child's attention. The book is very appealing to children because David is doing silly things that all kids have done at some point in their young lives.The picture book is also short enough to keep the attention of young ones, while sending a message to children that they can remember. This book also has a melodic nature when you read it. It has dialogue from the mother that mothers can act out for their children.
David is a Must read for Danielle and you can find it at your local library near you! Find more books by Shannon on his website:

ReplyDeleteI didn't choose this for my blog but I kind of regret I didn't because I loved this book as a kid. I don't remember many books but I remember this one.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! I never really remember the books I read as a young girl, but when I saw this book pop off the shelf in the library, I have to take it. I have such fond memories of reading this book.
