That’s not Funny, David!

David Shannon

This picture book, for ages 3-7, is the newest and sixth in the No, David series. Youngster David is committed to getting laughs out of everyone, although some folks don’t find his antics funny at all! Some of the hijinks shown in Shannon’s recognizable vivid illustrations include doing cannonballs into a pool, messily slurping his spaghetti, and telling jokes at school. Unfortunately, David learns the hard way that sometimes he goes too far; we see David crying at the doctor’s office when he gets a peanut stuck up his nose. His mischievous, fun-loving nature is what makes David who he is. This book is both a celebration of -and a warning to- class clowns everywhere.
