David is determined to get laughs out of everyone—even from those who might not find his antics amusing! From cannonballs into the pool to slurping his spaghetti to telling funny jokes during class, David is a natural comedian. But David learns that not all of his tricks are funny... like sticking things up his nose!

Still, this troublemaker will always have the last laugh and, of course, the enduring love of his mum. Once again, David Shannon entertains us with young David's mischievous shenanigans in this light-hearted story that's sure to leave readers of all ages laughing.

With millions of copies in print and five sequels, No, David! hit the ground running in 1998 and was a Caldecott Honor Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, and a classic for over 25 years. Based on a book the author wrote and illustrated when he was five, David captures the timeless no-no's familiar to every child.
