David!. New York:

Interest level: Grades PreK – 1
Author’s note: “A few years ago, my
mother sent me a book I made when I was a little boy. It was called No, David, and it was illustrated with
drawing of David doing all sorts of things he wasn’t supposed to do.”
When you’re a kid when any energy and imagination, you hear
this combination of words constantly: NO + (name). This is the premise of this
cheekily illustrated mediation on the mischievous. You could use this book in
the classroom on the first day as an introduction to rules and why they matter.
