SPOILER ALERT!

Ms. Harris' Overview of No, David!

— feeling crazy
No, David! - David Shannon

For any child who has felt like they are always being told "NO!" this is a wonderful book for  students to relate to. David is always doing something wrong and seems like he is always breaking his mother's rule. At the end of the book David knows he is loved by his mother throughout it all. It is important for students to understand that they are loved no matter what they do. This book is placed at a 1.8 (1st grade, 8th month) reading level from accelerated reader leveling system. Teachers could host a fun activity for students to write things in two separate columns. The first column could be things that David should not do and the second column could be things that David could do instead.
