David Goes to School
By David Shannon
Reviewed by Lexy
David Goes to School by David Shannon is a wonderful book for children who... aren't perfect. David, a young, energetic student, has a hard time understanding the rules of the classroom. I recommend this book to young children, or any child who feels imperfect.
This book takes place in David's elementary school. David's teacher is frustrated and is struggling to keep David under control. For example, "No, David! No yelling! No pushing! No running in the halls!" is all David hears every day. I believe that the teacher has a very important part in the story. Nevertheless, I think David should talk more in the story a little bit more.
The theme is something every child goes through- maturing. David learns that there is a time for playing, and a time for being serious. The way the author presents this theme is very creative.
The reason David Shannon wrote this book is very unique. His mother sent him a book that he wrote when he was little. "No, David!" was all that was in it, because that's all he knew how to spell! He changed it a little bit, and then got it published!
I think young children would really enjoy this book. Read this book to children who don't think they are perfect. David Shannon is a wonderful author with a lot of creative writing ideas. When I read David Goes to School I laughed out loud! I loved this book, and you will, too!
Summary of David Goes To School
David's teacher has her hands full. From running in the halls to chewing gum in class, David's high-energy antics fill each school day with trouble-and are sure to bring a smile to even the best-bahaved reader.David, the out-of-control monster-child from David Shannon's Caldecott Honor Book No, David! is back... and ready to disrupt the class. Shannon remembers the word "no" all too clearly from his childhood, and, as he says in his introduction, "It seems that kids haven't changed much over the years, and neither have school rules, some of which date back even further than the invention of sneakers." In David Goes to School, young David shows up late to class, goes wacko at the blackboard, chews gum in class, yells answers out of turn, pulls pigtails, stares out the window, cuts in line, has a food fight ("I don't care who started it!" says the teacher), lingers at recess, and draws on his desk. Colorful, hilarious, childlike illustrations examine our strangely appealing demon-boy at eye level, which is especially disgusting as David stretches an enormous mass of bubble gum from his pointy-toothed maw. After an intense day of exuberant misbehaving, however, he stays after school and washes all the desks until they sparkle. The day ends with a gold star and a pat on the head... something that any child (or adult) would find satisfying. (Click to see a sample spread. Copyright 1999 by David Shannon.
