No, David!

When David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were these words: NO, DAVID . . . and a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do.

Now David is all grown up. But some things never change. . . .

Twenty years after its initial publication, No, David remains a perennial household favorite, delighting children, parents, and teachers alike. David is a beloved character, whose unabashed good humor, mischievous smile, and laughter-inducing antics underline the love parents have for their children -- even when they misbehave.

David Shannon is the internationally acclaimed creator of more than 30 picture books, including No, David!, a Caldecott Honor Book and his second New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and four more David picture books. Shannon’s bestsellers include A Bad Case of Stripes, Duck on a Bike, and Too Many Toys! His most recent book is Bizzy Mizz Lizzie. He lives in California with his family.
