Summary:
This book is about a little boy that keeps getting in trouble for little things and his mom continues to yell at him for the things he does. However, at the end, his mom still tells him he loves him.
Summary of Professional Reviews:
"No"--the word toddlers hear most--figures prominently in this spirited book as it tags along after an impishly drawn boy constantly reprimanded for doing something he shouldn't. Robustly colored close-ups of David flooding the bathtub and jumping on the bed convey his surplus energy while endearing him to readers, who will be glad to see his mother reassuring him of her love at the end.
Review by Rokaya:
This book had incredible illustration, and without the illustrations, the reader wouldn’t be able to understand the meaning of the book. The illustrations show different things that David does, such as slam on pots and pans break things in the house and leave without his clothes. The moral of the story is that no matter what David does and how annoying he may be at times, his mom still loves him in the end.
This book would be useful when teaching…
Teachers can read this book to students during carpet time, or give it to students to read while they have free time. The book is very simple to read and the illustrations are very entertaining for the students.
