David Shannon&#8217;s beloved character in his bestselling book No, David! captures the attention and hearts of young children as few characters can. Readers relish David&#8217;s exuberance, defiance, and wildly energetic curiosity, and when there&#8217;s trouble, you can bet &#8220;David did it!&#8221; Now he&#8217;s taunting his older brother by eating his Halloween candy, making a bathroom mess, and following him up the tree house. &#8220;You&#8217;re too little!&#8221; won&#8217;t stop David&#8217;s tricks in this all-time &#8220;read it again&#8221; favorite. <\/p>\n<p>With millions of copies in print and four sequels, No, David! hit the ground running in 1998 and was a Caldecott Honor Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, and a classic for 20 years. Based on a book the author wrote and illustrated when he was five, David captures the timeless no-no&#8217;s familiar to every child. Grow Up, David! is nothing short of exhilarating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong>This is the first David Book that I have had the pleasure of reading. I read it out loud to my two year old. She seemed to enjoy it well enough. She is always eager to listen to a new book and discover the story that is hidden within the pages. <\/p>\n<p>This book catches the older and younger sibling dynamic perfectly. I enjoyed how spot on it is when looking at it through a young child&#8217;s eyes. <\/p>\n<p>I think that any younger sibling in a family could benefit from reading this book. I think they&#8217;d really enjoy it a lot. It has few words and nice bright incredible illustrations that help to pull the reader in. It has the potential to make a great addition on any child&#8217;s bookshelf. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 4 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Little-brother antics have never been so endearing &#8212; or true to life!
