This book is about a little boy named David who runs around breaking all of the rules he can think of. Every time he does something wrong his mother tells him "No, David!". I would use the book towards the beginning of the school year to help make rules for the classroom. This would also be a great ...

This book is a great read aloud for lower elementary grades, especially Kindergarten. The teacher could read this book on the first day of school in order to create rules for the classroom. The class would then create an anchor chart together with two columns. One column would be for actions that a...

At the end of the book the mother reminds David that even though she tells him "no" a lot she still loves him and wa...

No David! is a picture book that I feel to be appropriate for either a kindergarten or first grade classroom. A lesson that would dig deeper into this book without words, only small dialogue, would be to make inferences. The teacher would explain using an anchor chart before reading that inferences ...

This popular children's picture book taps into one of the first words we learn as young kids- NO! While this book is mostly based upon true, but humorous, scenarios many kids go through (drawing on the wall, playing during time out, overflowing the bubble bath, etc.) This book would be perfect for k...

David Shannon's series of No, David! books are very well written for young children. The book No, David!, would be fun to read with children in a Kindergarten classroom. David is mischievous and funny and kids would likely be able to see themselves in him as he does things he isn't supposed to do.

Grade: Kindergarten I will use this book in my classroom within the first couple of days of school. I will read this aloud to my students. We will discuss that the things David does not display good behavior for the classroom. After our discussion, I will make an anchor chart that says, "What Make...

"No, David!" Is a book I always enjoyed growing up and a great way to incorporate cause and effect in a classroom. I think that there are many questions that you can ask your students and a great way to get them involved with their critical thinking in the classroom. I would make an anchor chart of ...

I like this book and remember reading it when I was in school. I would have this book in my classroom library from kindergarten through third grade. I would use this for a class activity for kindergarten and first grade. Some of the ways you can use this in the classroom is to make a list of not wha...

One of my cooperating teachers used this book as a way to introduce the importance of illustrations in books. First she read the book out loud without showing the pictures to the students. The students seem very uninterested. Then she explained to the student how important it is to pay very close a...
