This book is about a little boy named David, who is constantly in trouble. No matter what he does, his mother always says the same things: "No, David!", "That's enough, David!", "Come back here, David!". David does such things as breaking a vase and getting mud on the carpet. Despite constantly being told "No", his mother always pulls him close, hugs him, and tells him she loves him.
This book teaches a good lesson to kids and parents both. Children learn that their parents may punish them, but they will love them no matter what. Parents need to know that their children will make mistakes, bu that is part of growing up.
My students in school absolutely love the David books. I have had to repair the two I have in my classroom more than once and am ready to replace them. They love the illustrations. The vibrant colors and the way David is portrayed in the pictures. They can relate to the book because many of them have done the same things David does.
