David, no!
The instructor of David is quite busy. David's exuberant antics, which include chewing gum in class and dashing through the hallways, make every school day hectic and certain to make even the most well-behaved reader grin.
In 'David Goes to School', young David shows up late to class, goes wacko at the blackboard, chews gum in class, yells answers out of turn, pulls pigtails, stares out the window, cuts in line, has a food fight ("I don't care who started it!" says the teacher), lingers at recess, and more. Bright, silly, cartoonish drawings scrutinize our oddly alluring demon-boy at eye level.
The wild and crazy monster-child David from David Shannon's 1998 Caldecott Honor Book "No, David!" is back and eager to mess with the class. As he states in his introduction, "It seems that kids haven't changed much over the years, and neither have school rules, some of which date back even further than the invention of sneakers." Shannon recalls the word "no" from his early years all too well.
