David Shannon writes and illustrates children's picture books built around mischievous behaviour, exaggerated expressions and stories that move quickly through one comic problem. No, David! follows a small boy through a string of forbidden activities, with repeated adult warnings and energetic pictures doing most of the storytelling. David Gets in Trouble and David Goes to School continue the same character in home and classroom settings, while A Bad Case of Stripes follows Camilla Cream after her fear of standing out turns into a wildly visual transformation. Shannon's books are funny, loud and highly visual, with simple text that works well for shared reading. They fit picture books, school stories and comic early-childhood fiction. No, David! is the defining entry point, while A Bad Case of Stripes gives a fuller narrative with a more overt message about social pressure and self-expression. Read more Less
