rc211's review against another edition
This picture book tells the story from the perspective of a parent and illustrates the ups and downs of parenting. I enjoyed reading this book to my nieces and nephews via Zoom who live in Texas. As I read No Dave to them, I received instantaneous feedback from them from their attentiveness and eagerness to listen to the story. While reading each page I showed them the illustrations and asked them open and leading questions about the book in order for them to share their own experiences in relation to the main character in the book. It was a book in which they obviously enjoyed and were able to relate to; it’s a good read to share with children to teach them the do’s and Don’ts as children while experiencing and living their own lives.

Part of our library's '100 books Every Kid Should Hear Before Kindergarten' list. We read all the books with our grandson this summer in preparation for school. This title is in my top 20 from the project.

A big book of no and I didn't appreciate it. Not the writing, not the art, not the situations. Just no.

No, David!
Brief summary A mischievous little boy is told No - a lot. His mother reassures him that she loves him.
Annotation - A story told more in pictures than in words. Children might recognize some of the behavior that David gets told no about, but in the end his mother tells him she loves him.
Age appropriateness 2-5years
Connection to six early literacy skills
Narrative Skills - The day has a beginning middle and end for David that kids might understand the routine he goes through.
Opinion - This book is a Caldecott winner, and the illustrations are bright and eye catching. I think the content is something that children understand, and even they like to tell David no.
