All aboard...the No, David! train, as David Shannon, takes us on a wild, wicked and wacky ride through his adventures as a five-year old.
David's mom chides him repeatedly for breaching her boundaries.
David is unfazed at being repeatedly admonished by his mother, and leaves no stone unturned in pushing her buttons when he decides to teeter precariously on a chair reaching for a banned cookie from the top shelf of his mom's pantry, or when he decides to weave muddy footprints on the spotlessly clean living room carpet or when he decides to bolt from the house, completely unabashed by circumstances.
Let us leave no stone unturned in reaching for No, David! and celebrate the hilarious-little-David adventures.
Part-autobiographical, and written in sparse text, the maximum number of words is five, No, David! is a hilarious take on children's mischievous behavior and a mother's tough and unconditional love, that forgets everything her child does and ultimately smothers her child with love.
Based on the author's life when he was a little kid, David Shannon does a fantastic depiction of what a household with mischievous kids go through!
I read this book with my daughter several years ago and I wanted to write about this book. I put it away and then one fine day I found it at my work place and decided to bring it home to do a review.
