No, David! By: David Shannon

David Shannon has
written a wonderful book that I feel all children can relate to. The
pictures are bright and as full of energy as the main character,
David.
David Shannon wrote this book when he was but a child and his mother
kept it
for him all these years. David tells a wonderful story of
no-no's that all children had committed at sometime in their life.
As a child David was very energetic. He colored on walls, played
with his food, wanted to take his goldfish for a walk, and ran through
the streets necked. David was told NO! to all these things and
still found more to do.
Even though David does several things that he is told NO
DAVID! time and time again, we see at the end of the book that his
mother still very much
loves him for the wonderful person he is.
Critical Thinking
1. Have you ever done
some of things that David did? And if so
what did you do and were you told no also?
2. Even though David's mother tells him no throughout the book, does
she still love him? How do you know?
