Summary

More
David gets in trouble a lot, but he's always ready with an excuse. Most of the time, it's just an accident. Or maybe he forgot something. Or some furniture got in his way. Whatever the situation, David has a really good explanation.

But sometimes making excuses doesn't feel so good, especially when he knows he's to blame. As David learns at the end of the book, saying "I'm sorry" and "I love you" can feel far better than any excuse.

Both funny and sweet, this is a wonderfully entertaining story that helps kids understand the importance of taking responsibility.

About the Author

Inspired by his own experiences as a child (and the drawings he did when he was little), David Shannon's books perfectly capture how hard it can be to do the right thing. An internationally acclaimed author and illustrator, Shannon has always been an artist. "I've drawn since I could hold a pencil, or a crayon," he says. At the age of five, he drew pictures of himself doing all the things he wasn't supposed to be doing. It was this work that became the inspiration for his Caldecott Honor Book No, David!
