Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this boisterous exploration of naughtiness, Shannon (How Georgie Radbourne Saved Baseball) lobs one visual zinger after another as David, a little dickens, careens from one unruly deed to the next--coloring on the walls, tracking mud all over the carpet, jumping on the bed in red cowboy boots. Meanwhile, all those timeless childhood phrases echo in the background: "Come back here!" "Be quiet!" "Not in the house, David!" and most vigorously--"No!" Shannon's pen whisks over the double-page spreads in a flurry of energy, as he gains perspective on an image of a bare-bottomed David cavorting down a quiet suburban street or closes in on the boy's face as he inserts a finger into his triangle nose, his button eyes tense with concentration, and perfectly round head looming larger than the pages. While Shannon gives David the purposeful look of a child's crude drawings, his background settings (the kitchen sideboard, a toy-littered TV room) are fully rendered, effectively evoking the boy's sense of displacement. This dead-on take on childhood shenanigans ends on a high note, with the penitent David (he broke a vase with a baseball) enfolded in his mother's arms as she assures him, "Yes, David, I love you." Readers won't be able to resist taking a walk on the wild side with this little rascal, and may only secretly acknowledge how much of him they recognize in themselves.
Children's Literature
Poor David. He is constantly doing things that elicit stern words of discipline. He hears "No, David!" when he walks over white carpet with muddy shoes and when he climbs a chair to reach the cookie jar. His mother tells him to "Settle down!" when he gets too rowdy in his room, and to "Come back here!" when he runs up the street without clothes on. Surely, this is how life must seem to a spirited child-always being scolded and always being held back. But David's mother does love him. The book ends on a high note with a mother's reassuring hug and words of love and a smile on David's face.

School Library Journal
In this ode to bad and boisterous little boys, a resourceful and inventive young David wreaks havoc in every room of the house and even runs down the road nude. He reaches too far for the cookie jar, tracks in too much dirt, bangs too loudly, and creates a potato head with string-bean arms and chicken legs instead of eating his dinner. He even sticks his finger up his nose farther than anatomy would seem to allow. The text consists mostly of his mother saying, "No, David," or variations thereof. Finally, a broken vase leads to banishment to a chair in the corner and a tear on the cheek, which leads to a motherly hug and the best affirmation of all--"Yes, David...I love you!" The vigorous and wacky full-color acrylic paintings portray a lively and imaginative boy whose stick-figure body conveys every nuance of anger, exuberance, defiance, and, best of all, the reassurance of his mother's love. This book is perfect for reading aloud. Children will relish the deliciously bad behavior and the warm and cuddly conclusion. -- Susan Pine, New York Public Library
M.P. Dunleavey
...[A] hilarious compilation of toddlers' wrongdoings....Parents might weary of the chastising tone....Children...will recognize immediately that they have found a kindred spirit. -- The New York Times Book Review
Newsweek
Kids won't be able to resist the rough-and-tumble David['s]...monster talent for getting into trouble.
Kirkus Reviews
This autobiographical (according to the author's note) story from Shannon (A Bad Case of Stripes) features a young hellion, also named David, who is forever at the receiving end of a sharp "No!" Among his prime escapades: overreaching for the cookie jar, excavating his nose, tracking mud on the carpet, pounding pots, playing with food, making a naked escape from the houseþclassics all. "That's enough," his mother shouts, and other familiar adult admonishments show up as wellþbe quiet, come back here, go to your room, settle down, stop that this instant, not in the house. This last comes as David prepares for a little indoor hardball. Does he listen? Does he break a vase? Does he get sent to the corner, nose to the wall? Readers or listeners will be gripped by this episode right out of their own lives, through to the stray tear, the look of contrition, and the moment of redemption: "Davey, come here. Yes, David I love you." The illustrations are wonderful, full of good-time trouble-making tomfoolery, borrowing on the energy of children's drawings and the determined strokes of their early attempts at lettering. David is a small, snaggle-toothed piehead whose mischief—for those who don't have to clean up after him—is nothing short of exhilarating.

    My 2 year old LOVES this book.

    My daughter started reading the "No, David" series of books at school. When she started quoting the book at home, I decided to buy one for our home library. She asks to read this book at least once a day. We use David's bad behavior as a way to teach our daughter lessons we want her to remember: chew your food, no coloring on the walls, etc...

    cute read ...

    How many ways can you say, ¿No!¿ to a toddler? This book shows you a few, and then some.
    This endearing little book is great for parents and children to read together. The images are amusing and the story touches on something that parents and kids will always share, the word, no.

    Excellent children's book; highly recommended

    My six year old nephew found this book at the public library. He loved it so much that he read it over and over in the back of the car on the way home. The text of the story is short enough that a beginning reader can read it independently, but it also makes a great story time book that an adult can read to a child. The story is about a small boy who seems to get into trouble constantly, but despite all of the scolding he gets from parents, teachers, etc., the message reinforced here is that he is still loved and that he is in many ways a very typical little boy. The design of the book and its illustrations are superb and work together with the text to deliver a wonderful story.

    My son's teacher was reading this to him at daycare and he LOVES this book! I had to buy it for him and now we read it all the time. It is a very cute and touching book and is just right for little boys who have the knacj for getting into trouble. Great book to read out loud and for kids to interact with.

    It seems that David is nothing but trouble in this colorful tale. But Mom loves him no matter what mistakes he makes, which makes this a great book for those times when a child feels like they're nothing but a bundle of mistakes.

    What I liked and did not liked about the book

    The book simply show what most kids typicly like to do,and that is to disobey their parents. David deffenetly look like majority of kids today, who not really want to obey his mom. Although book try to let children know that your mom loves you nomater what, yet it does not teaches any lesson to the children. Its ok book, but it would be not one of my best chooses in children literature.

    Have you ever had to say 'NO!'

    Award-winning author David Shannon is best known for his ¿No David¿ books, and with reason. In general throughout these books little David gets into trouble constantly for one thing or another. For example, in No David, David has been getting into trouble all day. He has just played baseball in the house and broken a vase and table in the living room. ¿NO DAVID,¿ his mother says to him, ordering him to sit in the corner. What does David, our little trouble magnet do while he¿s supposed to be in time-out? He draws all over the walls. When reading the books you continually want to know what David will do next. Shannon¿s illustrations seem to be full of expression, like you are watching David jump off the page. It looks as though little David did the drawings himself. The illustrations look like pencil drawings, and the perspectives are also very childish. For example, little David¿s head and face are a lot larger than the rest of his body. But don¿t let David¿s trouble making keep you from sharing the fun and exciting books with your children. There is a moral to these stories, which is, sometimes children make mistakes and you have to tell them ¿NO.¿ In the end they learn what to do and not to do and they still know you love them.

    No, David! is a picture book and was chosen in 1999 as a Caldecott Honor Book. This is a story about a little boy named David who is constantly getting in trouble. It seems the only words his mother says are ¿No, David!¿, ¿Come back here, David!¿, ¿David! Be Quiet!¿. However, at the end of the book you see how much the mother really loves her son and that she has a few nice words for him, as well. I absolutely loved this book as a mother of a 4 year old I can relate to every picture in this book. The illustrations will make you laugh out loud! This book would be appropriate for ages 3-7. My four year old was very amused by the pictures in this book. David Shannon is both the author and illustrator of this book. When Mr. Shannon was five years old he wrote and illustrated his first book. One every page were the words, ¿No, David!¿ and pictures of all the things David wasn¿t supposed to do. That was the inspiration for this book. He has also written and illustrated books such as How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book and The Amazing Christmas Extravaganza, an American Bookseller Pick. David Shannon grew up in Spokane, Washington and now lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Heidi, and their dog, Fergus. Shannon, David. No, David!. New York: The Blue Sky Press, 1998.

    My 1 year old loves this book. We have to read it over and over. He likes to point out all the bad things and 'uh ohhs' David does. Unfortunately this book did teach him how to say 'No'. I highly recommend this book, especially for boys.

    Entire 'DAVID' series is a hit with students with ADHD

    Some reviewers have interpreted this book as a mother continually yelling at her son. I believe this book has a much deeper, brighter meaning. David is 'one of those kids' that so many teachers label as trouble-makers, when indeed they are just curious, energetic, and creative! One of my professors in grad school suggested this book to use with students with ADHD, and it was a hit! ALL the books in the David series are a great way to show kids (like David) that even when mommies and teachers have to discipline, there is still love for them. At the same time, it shows adults that ADHD kids tend to get a bad rap, and sometimes we need to give a little wiggle room and foster that creativity instead of constantly nagging!
