    Title: No, David! Author: David Shannon

    Illustrator: Disney Storybook Art Team Publisher/Year: Blue Sky Press/1998

    Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction

    Summarize the content of the book –


    A. For Fiction Form Genres—Explain the characters, the setting, theme and plot of the
    book.
    Characters: David, David’s mom
    Setting: In David’s house
    Theme: The theme in, “No, David!,” is to follow your parents’ instructions, and no matter
    what happens your parents still love you.
    Plot: In the book, “No, David!,”

    Explain how the book appeals to children, their interests, developmental levels, fun
    illustrations etc. Give specific examples from the book:

    The book, No David!, appeals to children in many ways. The book has on each page a
    situation where David’s mom is telling him, “No,” to not do something. This happens to
    children quite a bit. Children will do something they want, and then parents tell them no. On
    the last page of the book David’s mom calls him over to her and tells him, “I love you!” as she
    is pictured hugging him. It is a great way to end the book.

    The illustrations are bright and fun. They show a lot of different types of things happening
    including emotions, mess rooms, and a naked David running down the street. On page 4, the
    look on David’s face is of shock. Kind of like when a kid gets caught and says, “uh, oh.”
    David’s eyes are large, round, and his mouth is round. Page 6 and 7 shows David in an
    overflowing bathtub filled with toys. The lines and color on the side of the tub show it as
    overflowing and the way the water is drawn inside the tub shows David splashing in the
    water. Page 10 and 11 shows David playing with his food. He made a person out of two
    chicken drumsticks, two green beans, a fork and a potato. All kids have played with their
    food at some point in their life.

    According to Jean Piaget, in the preoperational stage, pre-logical thought is limited to one-
    way, ego-centric thinking. Throughout the book on every other page David is shown in
    different situations that appear to be him doing what makes him happy and doing what he
    wants to do. Whether it is walking through the house covered in mud and tracking mud on
    the carpet or splashing around in the bathtub to the point where it overflows, leaving all his
    toys out all over the floor, or playing baseball in the house. All of these situations show David
    having a blast, but he is only thinking about himself and what is fun for him. He is not
    thinking of the consequences that come from them such as breaking items, getting the floor
    wet from tub water, or the carpet filthy with mud.
    Rate the book 1 2 3

    Explain your rating.


    I gave this book a rating of 3. I laughed and smiled as I turned the pages. I remember when I
    was young, and I played with pots and pans banging them and using them as instruments. I
    remembered when I was growing up and trying to reach for something tall while standing on
    a chair instead of asking for help. I also always remember my mom telling me how much she
    loved me even if I did something wrong. This book is not just bringing back memories, it is a
    favorite read for my daughter. She loves this book. Although the writing and amount of
    words is very minimal, the illustrations speak volumes. The illustrations show different
    emotions through the pages, the pages are brightly colored, and are fun to look at.
