Return to the page for David Shannon at Wayne

The Caldecott Honor-winning classic by bestselling picture book creator David Shannon is available in a special edition created for its twenty-five year anniversary!

When David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were these words: NO, DAVID!… and a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do. Now David is all grown up. But some things never change…

Over twenty-five years after its initial publication, No, David! remains a perennial household favorite, delighting children, parents, and teachers alike. David is a beloved character, whose unabashed good humor, mischievous smile, and laughter-inducing antics underline the love parents have for their children — even when they misbehave.

Celebrate twenty-five years of NO, DAVID! with this special anniversary edition — featuring endpapers inspired by children’s fan mail to David from over the years and an author’s note from David celebrating this 25th anniversary milestone.
