About the Book
David is back and funnier than ever in That's Not Funny, David! This is a companion to the Caldecott Honor-winning classic No, David! by bestselling picture book creator David Shannon!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
mom.
Once again, David Shannon entertains us with
young David's mischievous shenanigans in this lighthearted 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.
My Take on the Book
This is a funny book that young kids will love to read with their parents. The words are short and easy for young readers to understand. Also, kids will definitely relate to the antics off David, and have probably heard their parents say some similar things as it comes to things that they may have done. In the end, the book, while showing the crazy things that David does, it also does show the love of David's mom! This is a wonderful followup to No, David!
