When author and artist David Shannon was five years old, he wrote a semi-autobiographical story of a little kid who broke all his mother's rules. He chewed with his mouth open (and full of food), he jumped on the furniture, and he broke his mother's vase! As a result, all David ever heard his mother say was "No, David!" Here is his story.
As David zips through his school, he discovers hat his least-favorite word, "no", is often spoken here: "NO, DAVID!" "No Yelling!" No pushing!" "No running in the halls!" This lighthearted companion to the Caldecott Honor book, NO, DAVID! Is an entertaining, laugh-out-loud romp from the beginning of class to the end of the day.

On Wednesday he ate though three plums, but he was stillhungry.
On Thursday he ate through four strawberries, but he was stillhungry......'
On Saturday, he eats so much he has a stomachache......but putsit right on Sunday, when he only nibbles through a nice greenleaf!
Then he builds a cocoon and stays inside for over twoweeks......and an amazing thing happens!

If food dropped like rain from the sky, wouldn't it be marvelous! Or would it? It could, after all, be messy. And you'd have no choice. What if you didn't like what fell? Or what if too much came? Have you ever thought of what it might be like to be squashed flat by a pancake?
