David Goes to School
By David Shannon
This book is the book following, No David!, and this time David goes to school where he continues to cause trouble. At the end of the day though the reader discovers that despite his mischievous streak David is a sweet boy. The text in the book is very simple; there is only one sentence on each page. Since the text is some simple the book would have been pretty boring had it not been for the illustrations.
The character David looks as though he was drawn by a child. In fact David is based off of the authors, David Shannon, childhood writings. The illustrations were very big, definitely the primary focus of the book, and bright primary colors are used. The illustrations add to the humor and fun of the book. Since the main character is drawn kind of funny it gives the book a less serious tone and will make children enjoy the book more. This is a book that children can defiantly have fun with the book, it looks like the author did!
