A great book for 2 year olds!
My daughter reads this book at daycare and LOVES it. We decided to buy the board book for home and we read it every night! It’s such cute book and has life lessons that are easy for kiddos to understand.

Funny and toddler loves it.
2 (young 2) year old loves it and asks for us to read it multiple times a day. I do add more words to it though, instead of just saying "no." For example when David draws on the wall, instead of reading "no, David!" I say, "no drawing on the wall, David. We draw on paper."

My Son Absolutely Loves David!
Oh my goodness, my son loves this book! The moment we read it together, he couldn’t stop laughing at all of David’s silly antics. The story is simple but so relatable for kids, and the playful illustrations really bring David’s personality to life. What I like most is that it teaches gentle lessons about boundaries and behavior in a way that’s fun, not preachy. My son asks for this book almost every night now—it’s quickly become one of his favorites.

A Classroom Favorite That Became a Home Must-Have
No, David! has been a hit in our house two years running. Last year, my kindergartner came home raving about it after reading it at school. This year, my now-first grader proudly told her new teacher it was her favorite book and immediately decided she needed her own copy. A must-have for any classroom or home library with young kids.

My Boys Love this Book - BUT....
This is one of the favorites for both of my boys. It's the story of a typical boy being a boy, and a Mom being a Mom. I don't quite understand the negative reviews it receives for showing David being mischievous and being disciplined for it. As if the reviewers didn't expect to have to encounter topics such as disobedience and parental correction (yelling) that could somehow be traumatizing to their children. The title of the book should be a dead giveaway as to its content. However, it should be pointed out that there are, at least for me, two items of questionable content to be aware of. (spoiler alert) 1. After taking a bath, David runs down the street as naked as he was born (shown from the backside). 2. While picking his nose, there is a hidden 4-letter-word displayed diagonally in the text of the page: STOP THAT THIS INSTANT The font of the page makes it practically jump out. Whether this was intentional or not, I can't believe it wasn't caught. Regardless of the above content, its a funny book with a good ending. My boys love it and I will continue to read it to them.

No, David! is one that struck a chord with both my 5 and 3 year old. The final page is so touching, and hit home for both my kids. They asked questions, talked about the book, and asked to be read again. It's a good book for parents too. Reminds you of a valuable lesson all parents need to remember.

My son found this series of books on YouTube and loved it so I brought this for him. He loves the character and the board book is very well made. It's a decent length at 32 pages and holds a child interest.

My son identifies a lot with protagonist david. Asks me to read the book every night. The book has very good pictures and just a dialogue from davids mum to go with the image. So now my son knows what behaviour is not good. This book is for kids not for adults to find solutions. But it helps as it makes the child understand what bad behaviour looks like. My son knows that whatever david does in the book will not make him a good boy. Its a great buy.
