When David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were these words: No, David! ... and a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do. All he hears from his mother as he breaks her rules is ‘No, David!’, ‘That's enough, David!’, and ‘Settle down!’ Now David is all grown up. But some things never change ... David is a beloved character, whose unabashed good humour, mischievous smile, and laughter-inducing antics underline the love parents have for their children—even when they misbehave. Children will find his outrageously bad behaviour both funny and liberating as they see themselves in him.
