No, David! By David Shannon

Here comes trouble! David Shannon's messy little monster digs himself into a deep hole with his endless antics. Little David sails the high seas in the bathtub, builds Mr. Potato Head with his dinner, and takes batting practice in the living room. But when David’s actions catch up with him, his mother is there to lovingly console him. When you read this book to your children, they take on the parental role, repeatedly scolding David. Every time he makes a mess, they are able to shout, “No, David!” and then dissolve in giggles. David’s horseplay is relentless, but he is also extremely lovable. He is truly sorry when he breaks his mother’s vase, and he finds his ultimate happiness safely wrapped in her loving arms in the end.
