David is, as we'd spin it in the teacher's lunchroom, an energetic child. One who looks a little wild. One who is drawn in a style that every child can identify with. A brilliant artistic choice.
The book, the author tells us, was first written years ago when he was a child and the only words he could spell where "No" and "David". When his mother sent him the book years later he decided to remake it and so he did and it's good for us that he did.
This is a fun book that all kids will be able to identify with.
Message:
[Parents] We may say yes but they remember the nos.
[Kids] See, it's not just you.
[Teacher WARNING] This is a funny book but may not be suited for the classroom due to the naked rear end picture half way through.
