Description

David’s teacher has her hands full. From running in the halls to chewing gum in class, David’s high-energy antics fill each and every schoolday with trouble — and are sure to bring a smile to even the most efficient- bahaved reader.

David, the out-of-regulate monster-child from David Shannon’s Caldecott Honor Book No, David! is back… and able to disrupt the class. Shannon remembers the word “no” all too clearly from his childhood, and, as he says in his introduction, “It kind of feels that kids haven’t changed much over time, and neither have school rules, some of which date back even further than the invention of sneakers.” 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 began it!” says the teacher), lingers at recess, and draws on his desk. Colorful, hilarious, childlike illustrations examine our strangely appealing demon-boy at eye level, which is especially disgusting as David stretches a huge mass of bubble gum from his pointy-toothed maw. After an intense day of exuberant misbehaving, on the other hand, he stays after school and washes the entire desks until they sparkle. The day ends with a gold star and a pat on the head… something that any child (or adult) would find satisfying. (Click to see a sample spread. Copyright 1999 by David Shannon.
