Review Detail

I love the backstory of how the No, David! Series emerged from David Shannon’s childhood creations as an author. David Goes to School continues with laugh-out-loud illustrations and minimalist text that encapsulates the school experience for Pre-K and Kindergarten kiddos. Having been in the school system it is funny while also hitting on the truth of the experience of working with littles. I love that this series appeals to all age groups. It continues to be one of my favorite recommendations and I love watching a child read this book for the first time and the pure joy they receive from it as it earns the hallowed distinction of becoming a book they read repeatedly. The new board book format makes this repeated read sturdier so it can continue to be an enduring read on any kid's shelf.
