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.

Then he builds a cocoon and stays inside for over twoweeks......and an amazing thing happens!

那天晚上，麦克斯穿上他的狼服，开始了恶作剧。妈妈骂他：“野兽！”麦克斯说：“我要吃掉你！”结果妈妈没让他吃晚饭，把他关到了房间里。 正是在那天晚上，麦克斯的房间里长出了一片树林，海上漂来了一艘小船。他日夜航行，一个星期又一个星期，几乎用了一年的时间，到了一个野兽出没的地方。野兽们发出了可怕的咆哮，磨着它们可怕的牙齿，转动着它们可怕的眼睛，伸出了它们可怕的爪子。“别动！”麦克斯的眼睛一眨也不眨，盯着它们的黄眼睛，用魔法驯服了它们。它们全都害怕了，把他当成了野兽之王。 “现在，”麦克斯喊，“让野兽们闹起来吧！”它们又是对着月亮吼叫，又是吊在树上，等闹够了，“停！”麦克斯不让它们吃晚饭就让它们去睡觉了。
可是他这个野兽之王突然感到孤独起来，想到一个被人爱的地方去。这时，从遥远的世界的那一边，飘来了好吃的东西的香味。 他决定放弃在这个野兽出没的地方当国王了。可是野兽们喊：“哦，请不要走——我们要把你吃掉——我们如此爱你！”野兽们发出可怕的咆哮，磨着它们可怕的牙齿，转动着它们可怕的黄眼睛，伸出了它们可怕的爪子。但麦克斯还是上了他的小船，挥手说再见了。 然后他航行了一年，又回到了他自己房间的那个夜晚。他发现他的晚饭正等着他，而饭还是热的。
