Caldecott Honor: No David! by David Shannon


Have you ever felt like all you hear yourself saying is "No?" Think about it from a child's perspective. This book is an easy quick read for young children. The story is quite simple with a happy ending! The plot is about a boy who is constantly getting in to trouble and always hears "No, David!" from his parents. However, in the end, he finally hears "Yes, David!" and "I Love You!"

This book is very easy to read. Kindergarten students can pick up this book and feel successful reading it because of the few words in it. The illustrations are brightly colored and vivid making this book even more enjoyable. I have a four year old cousin who can read the words in this story. He finds this book very funny and laughs constantly when it is read to him. Many young children can relate to David and therefor enjoy reading about his adventures.
