No, David! 

Author and Illustrator: David Shannon 

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Grade Level: K-2

Awards: Caldecott Medal

David's mom always said No, David! This book is a collection of illustrations that show David doing a lot of different mischievous things and his mother saying No, David! As he goes through all of the mischievous things such as playing baseball in the house, reaching for cookies, and other things, the ending eventually has his mom comforting David and saying Yes! I love you.

The illustrations take up the whole page. They are very colorful and vibrant and really portray the mischievous acts that David commits. Without these types of illustrations the story would not make sense at all. 

I could use this in the classroom to talk about classroom rules and what is appropriate to do vs what is not. We can talk about how David feels when his mother says no all the time and how important it is to include that his mother loves him at the end.
