No, David!
Wow! I have heard that saying many times! I still hear that saying now, on occasion. Most of the time when I was a kid, that saying was accompanied by my whole name, middle name included. Nowadays if I do something really dumb or annoying I still hear that saying, whole name included. Now, instead of my mother yelling that phrase, it is my wife.
The book No, David! written by David Shannon, covers several genres, but as a nonfiction book, it really shines. The book is a reincarnation of a book the author wrote as a child. It is the equivalent of a childhood autobiography. This book can be considered nonfiction because it highlights events the author experienced in his own life as a child.
No, David! is a delightful and humorous book that elementary-aged children will enjoy. The events are recreated with humorous pictures that depict events we have all encountered while growing up. From playing baseball in the house to playing with his food, David heard that same old saying over and over, No, David!
Thanks for sharing No, David! as a nonfiction book! I did not realize the events in the books were from the author's own experiences. I guess I never realized that set of books would be classified as nonfiction. I have said many times I never thought about nonfiction with younger ages. I am finding out more and more I already use nonfiction books with my own children without even realizing it!!
ReplyDeleteI never really would have thought of No, David! as a nonfiction piece but in the sense of an autobiography of him as a child this really does make sense and it's really cool to be able to see a piece of the authors life. These books are not only educational in the aspect of autobiography but they also have an underlining theme that can really teach children a lesson! No, David! was a great choice for nonfiction thanks for sharing DAVID! :)
