Summary
Summary
Laugh-aloud humor abounds when David can't resist bugging his big brother. In this funny romp, David careens from one mischievous antic to the next... until he finally wins his brother's approval.Little-brother antics have never been so endearing -- or true to life! David Shannon's beloved character in his bestselling book No, David! captures the attention and hearts of young children as few characters can. Readers relish David's exuberance, defiance, and wildly energetic curiosity, and when there's trouble, you can bet "David did it!" Now he's taunting his older brother by eating his Halloween candy, making a bathroom mess, and following him up the tree house. "You're too little!" won't stop David's tricks in this all-time "read it again" favorite. With millions of copies in print and four sequels, No, David! hit the ground running in 1998 and was a Caldecott Honor Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, and a classic for 20 years. Based on a book the author wrote and illustrated when he was five, David captures the timeless no-no's familiar to every child. Grow Up, David! is nothing short of exhilarating.

Kirkus Review
As if he couldn't get into trouble enough on his own, David has a big brother to "help."Returning to his hapless alter (?) ego after eight years (It's Christmas, David!, 2010), Shannon brings his older siblingor at least, to judge from the pictures, said sibling's lower portionsinto play for a series of moments captioned by phrases that will be ultrafamiliar to all but only children: "No, David!" "You're too little." "Stop following me!" "That's mine!" Drawn as before in a loose style with visible corrections and mottled, garishly colored backgrounds, the illustrations capture both the emotional intensity of David's roller-coaster world and, in hilarious close-up tableaux, a series of brotherly tussles, pranks, domestic disasters, and goofy bids for attention. Many of Caldecott honoree No, David!'s iconic illustrations are mirrored here, including some mild (if catastrophic for the plumbing) potty humor, a close-up of David's wide-open, bawling mouth, and both brothers in timeout. Just to show that big bro's not entirely a brat, after David wangles his way into a big kids' football game and gets clobbered, he gets a noogie and a "Nice catch!" that give the end a note of rough affection. Both brothers present white.Nice to see you again, David! (Picture book. 4-6) Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
