[ 책 소개 ]
* 1999년 Caldecott Honor 수상작
작가 David Shannon는 어릴 적 손수 그린 그림책에 No와 David라는 두 단어와 온갖 해서는 안될 행동들이 그려진 것을 보고 이를 Remake해서 다시 만든 책입니다.
어린이의 호기심과 욕망, 그것들은 어른들의 바램과는 배치되는 경우가 많죠. 욕조에 물이 넘치도록 첨벙거리고 놀면, "No! No! No!" 프라이팬을 숟가락으로 두드리며 신나게 놀면, "Be Quiet!" 음식을 먹다말고 음식들을 주물럭 거리면서 나름대로 창작에 몰두하면, "Don't play with your food!" TV앞에 앉아 신나는 만화영화를 보고 있으면, "Go to your room!" 침대 위에서 쿵쿵 뛰며 기분 좀 내면, "Settl Down!" 콧구멍을 청소하면, "Stop that this instant!".... 끊임없는 간섭과 꾸중들의 연속이죠.
하지만 이런 꾸중들로 위축되는 아이들을 달래주는 한 마디는... 꼭 껴안고 해주는 "Yes, David... I love you!"
어린이와 어른이 함께 공감하며 즐길 수 있는 재미있는 그림책입니다.

Book description
Named a 1999 Caldecott Medal honor book. When author and artist David Shannon was five years old, he wrote a semi-autobiographical story of a little kid who broke all his mother's rules. He chewed with his mouth open, jumped on the furniture, and he broke his mother's vase. As a result, all David ever heard his mother say was "No, David!"
Publishers Weekly
In this boisterous exploration of naughtiness, Shannon (How Georgie Radbourne Saved Baseball) lobs one visual zinger after another as David, a little dickens, careens from one unruly deed to the next--coloring on the walls, tracking mud all over the carpet, jumping on the bed in red cowboy boots. Meanwhile, all those timeless childhood phrases echo in the background: "Come back here!" "Be quiet!" "Not in the house, David!" and most vigorously--"No!" Shannon's pen whisks over the double-page spreads in a flurry of energy, as he gains perspective on an image of a bare-bottomed David cavorting down a quiet suburban street or closes in on the boy's face as he inserts a finger into his triangle nose, his button eyes tense with concentration, and perfectly round head looming larger than the pages. While Shannon gives David the purposeful look of a child's crude drawings, his background settings (the kitchen sideboard, a toy-littered TV room) are fully rendered, effectively evoking the boy's sense of displacement. This dead-on take on childhood shenanigans ends on a high note, with the penitent David (he broke a vase with a baseball) enfolded in his mother's arms as she assures him, "Yes, David, I love you." Readers won't be able to resist taking a walk on the wild side with this little rascal, and may only secretly acknowledge how much of him they recognize in themselves.
Children's Literature
Poor David. He is constantly doing things that elicit stern words of discipline. He hears "No, David!" when he walks over white carpet with muddy shoes and when he climbs a chair to reach the cookie jar. His mother tells him to "Settle down!" when he gets too rowdy in his room, and to "Come back here!" when he runs up the street without clothes on. Surely, this is how life must seem to a spirited child-always being scolded and always being held back. But David's mother does love him. The book ends on a high note with a mother's reassuring hug and words of love and a smile on David's face.
School Library Journal
In this ode to bad and boisterous little boys, a resourceful and inventive young David wreaks havoc in every room of the house and even runs down the road nude. He reaches too far for the cookie jar, tracks in too much dirt, bangs too loudly, and creates a potato head with string-bean arms and chicken legs instead of eating his dinner. He even sticks his finger up his nose farther than anatomy would seem to allow. The text consists mostly of his mother saying, "No, David," or variations thereof. Finally, a broken vase leads to banishment to a chair in the corner and a tear on the cheek, which leads to a motherly hug and the best affirmation of all--"Yes, David...I love you!" The vigorous and wacky full-color acrylic paintings portray a lively and imaginative boy whose stick-figure body conveys every nuance of anger, exuberance, defiance, and, best of all, the reassurance of his mother's love. This book is perfect for reading aloud. Children will relish the deliciously bad behavior and the warm and cuddly conclusion. -- Susan Pine, New York Public Library
Newsweek
Kids won't be able to resist the rough-and-tumble David['s]...monster talent for getting into trouble.
The New York Times Book Review
A hilarious compilation of toddlers' wrongdoings....Parents might weary of the chastising tone....Children...will recognize immediately that they have found a kindred spirit.
