Hilarious and Touching, too!

I am buying this for my “adopted”granddaughter, because my grandson loved it so much at her age that he would literally act it out as my son read it to him. It was hilarious. I am glad I have a video. And the message is SO loving at the end! It is not just about consequences for “bad” behavior like another review mentioned, although that is one theme. It is about the UNCONDITIONAL love of a parent.

No, David! Read the book? Yes.

No, David! was actually written by the author (David), when he was 5. He later rewrote it and published No, David! The book's concepts are all too familiar to most parents & kids, but beyond the bright colored illustrations and NOs for bad deeds, the story wraps with the mother loving David no matter what. Young kids will get a kick out of all the No, David! illustrations & parents will enjoy the proof that they aren't the only ones using all the dreaded lines our parents used on us.

my daughter loves it!

It is a good children's book....the color is very strong and the words are also easy to understand. My sweetie loves this book!

Great book to introduce Spanish

My son LOVES the No,David series of books, and at 2 years old knew them all by heart. This book is a great way for him to be exposed to Spanish. He is starting to read along in both Spanish and English, which is great! I would highly recommend this book!

AWESOME first reading book!

My four-year-old twin boys read this book over and over again! They recite the "No, David!" story in the car, in the store, in the tub, and just about any other place! Every child (and adult!) can relate to this story...we've ALL been David! It's a wonderful book for teaching kids to read and recognize words. I have recommended this book to all of my friends with preschool age children.
