No, David! is a book written by David Shannon that is sort of an autobiographical story that he wrote when he was five years old. He wrote about a boy named David who always got himself into trouble so much so that all he ever heard was his mother yelling, "No, David!"
This book's illustrations and writings are both done by the creative David Shannon. He won a Caldecott Honor Award for this work. This book is a picture storybook because while the writings were not very descriptive, the illustrations completed the details needed for the readers to understand what is happening in the story.
This book's simple texts are great for readers in pre-school through third grade. This story has a great moral to it that no matter what David did to disappoint his mother, in the end she still loves him the same. Children this age will find these minimal texts hilarious.
