No, David! by David Shannon

Seth and I both love this 1999 Caldecott Medal winning book. Although the book actually has very few words, the hilarious pictures say it all. David gets told no by his mom over and over again as he breaks every rule in the house - jumping on the bed, shoving too much food in his mouth, playing baseball in the living room and even running naked down the street! Even though David has been scolded all day, in the end his mom hugs him and lets him know that he is loved. I think any mom or child can relate to this book on some level. We also enjoy The Rain Came Down by this talented writer/illustrator.
