“Yes, David... I love you!“
This is important because sometimes you may need to remind children that even though you tell them “no“, you still do love them.

I would love to read this book to a group of students! Some of the pictures leave room for interpretation of what David is doing wrong. For example, on the page of David eating, some children may think he is getting told “no“ because he has too much food in his mouth, while others may argue it's because he's chewing with his mouth open. This book can lead to a great discussion of why we have rules and why students shouldn't break them.
pick“No, David“ by David Shannon was published in 1998. A 1999 Caldecott Honor Book. This book uses the illustrations to tell most of the story. There is a picture of David doing something he shouldn't be doing and the only words on the page are saying “No, David“. It is an interesting way to tell a story. The pictures depict specific emotions David may feel. These include sad, rebellious, worried, and more.
I think that this book is really great for the younger students. It displays a lot of actions that students like or wish to do to at home or at school and it shows consequences. At the end it shows that he feels sorry for what he is done. I think that this is good book fro younger children about forgiveness.
pickNo, David! by David Shannon. 1998. Picture Book. Caldecott Award Winning. This book is good t introduce to younger students when learning about what is the right thing to do in a classroom and to your friends. The way that the illustrator demonstrated the anger in the book is really clear to the reader.
This story had few words, allowing the largest part of the story to be told through the readers depictions of the illustrations. This story reminds readers that what is important is not focusing on the mistake you made, but rather trying to figure out the best ways in which to solve the problem at hand.
