Great tips, and thoughtful approaches

“No, David!”

This story follows David, a little boy who often gets into trouble but is always loved. In the classroom, it‘s useful for discussing rules, self-control, and unconditional love. It also provides opportunities for students to connect with their own experiences of learning boundaries and to practice sequencing events or retelling a story through both words and pictures.

In No, David!, the illustrations are bold, exaggerated, and filled with playful lines and bright colors. The slightly chaotic compositions mirror David‘s mischievous energy, while the simple, childlike drawing style matches the humor and perspective of a young child. The art works hand-in-hand with the text, amplifying both the comedy and the warmth of the story.

Starting to catch up on sleep and reading after an amazing Texas Library Association conference. We had 4800 librarians, authors, vendors, and volunteers in Dallas learning, connecting, and sharing their stories. And so many books, y‘all! Here are a the ones that came home with me 😍

This parenting book resonated with me more than any other I‘ve read. Its main goal is to help you raise kids who are able to make decisions for themselves in a safe environment at home that will translate well when they‘re out of your house. They talk about how helicopter or drill sergeant parents limit kids‘ maturity, while consultant parents help their kids learn through natural consequences. The key is empathy while still allowing them to fail.

“No, David!“

This is a story about a boy who is consistently getting in trouble in at home and is not very good at listening and following directions. This book is a good story to read to a classroom. The illustrations are humorous and tell a story within in them. This book can be a good book to incorporate a lesson, or have a conversation with students about following directions and listening.

No, David! was published in 1998. This is a book about a little boy named David, who is always getting into trouble and not doing what he is supposed to be doing. This is a good book for teachers to have conversations with students about appropriate behaviors in the classroom.

I'm working on my #ISPYBINGOAPRIL This book is cute. It doesn't have a vase on the cover, but David gets in real trouble when he breaks this vase. So I'm courting it for the bingo spot and the illustrations are great in this book. @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
