David Gets in Trouble (David Books [Shannon])

My grandson loves these books. When he opened them he read each title perfect. I didn't know he knew his to read yet. He in pre-school and read this book to me.❤️

I loved these stories as a kid and now my daughter also loves them. I think she’s very entertained by the trouble David gets into. She asks questions like “why’s he doing that?” and has me stop on pages so she can take in what’s happening. I also think it’s really helpful to explain that different place and people have different rules. Which helps answer questions about other kids families.

Cute starter book.

Love the book, thank you

My kid absolutely love the No david books great edition to any kids collection!

My son (now 8) loved these books. I went to find our copy to lend to a friend who has a 3 year old daughter whose favorite (only?) word is, "NO." I can't find our copy so I bought this and, "No, David!" for them. These books are really fun for toddlers because, let's face it, most of their day is filled up with "No" and "Stop" and "Come along" and "Put that down"..... This gives them the chance to be the one doing the scolding!! When I read these books with my little one, he quickly memorized the dialogue and couldn't wait to turn the pages, so he could laugh at David's antics and tell him to stop. I would also use the opportunity to ask, "What is David DOING?!?!" so that he could vocalize the naughty behaviors (carrying too much stuff, teasing the cat, etc....) I read a couple of reviews that complained that these books set a bad example, but I think those people honestly missed a teaching moment or two. And I think the art is awesome, not the least bit scary!! These will be classics for years to come.

I thought this would be a fun book but it’s just not for us. I don’t agree with some of the things David gets in trouble for.

My daughter who is 8 years old wrote me a story of when I was a kid. She gathered information from my parents and surprised me on my birthday with a small chronicle about my childhood memories. Books are the tools for growth. Very powerful message on this book. Highly recommend reading it at least 10-15 times!
