Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When author and artist David Shannon was five years old, he wrote a semi-autobiographical story of a little kid who broke all his mother's rules. He chewed with his mouth open (and full of food), he jumped on the furniture, and he broke his mother's vase! As a result, all David ever heard his mother say was 'No, David!' Here is his story.
Amazon.com Review:
Parents will be quick to jump to the conclusion that there can be nothing appealing in a tale of an ugly kid who breaks things. And certainly--from that adult perspective--there's something off-putting about the illustrations of David, with his potato head, feral eyes, and a maniacal grin that exposes ferociously pointed teeth. But 3- and 4-year-olds see things differently, and will find his relentless badness both funny and liberating. 'No, David,' wails the off-stage mother, as David reaches for the cookie jar. 'No! No! No!' as he makes a swamp out of the bathroom. 'Come back here, David!' as he runs naked down the street. Each vivid double-page illustration is devoted to a different youthful indiscretion and a different vain parental plea. Readers will be amused to know that the protagonist's name is no accident: award-winning writer-illustrator David Shannon wrote the book after discovering a similar effort that he had made, again with himself at the center of each drawing, at the age of 5. (Ages 3 to 6) --Richard Farr

My three-year-old son absolutely loves this book. I have read it several times to him since he got it out of his stocking. It is one that we will read again and again.

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.

This is a great children's book! My daughter loves this book. Even very young children can understand and relate to this story, and the illustrations are brightly colored and childlike. Overall, this is a truly excellent book.

I didn't pay attention and purchased the Spanish version. Nothing wrong with that, except I don't speak Spanish. I'm keeping it to avoid the hassle and am re-ordering... just letting the rest of you know. :)Other than that, I'd give it 5 stars... so, technically, I'm rating Amazon's marketing.

this book is AWFUL. this kid david wreaks havoc in his parent's life and is just told "NO" throughout the book. then, in the end, when he breaks his mother's favorite vase after being told not to play baseball in the house, he gets a big hug from someone we never see and is told that he is loved. it's a PATHETIC book. the only good thing about the book is that clearly the author grew up in a nice house because the furniture is nice in the book.
