Rules, rules and MORE rules. David goes to school and its "don't do this and don't do that". Seems as if David gets into even more trouble at school than he does at home. They same expressive illustrations are evident in this book as in the first book, NO, David! In the end, David is happy to have a done a job well, but even happier to be on his way home.

This book is a funny take on little David going to school and how he gets into trouble. Finally at the end he finishes his punishment and is told "good job" by his teacher. This would be a fun book to get kids interested in going to school. I'm not too crazy about how the teacher is always telling David no, but kids might relate to it.

What a great book! I originally bought this book for my daughter, but now I think that this would be a great book to read to my students on the first day of school!

David causes a lot of trouble at school and must stay after class to clean desks after he has been caught drawing all over his own desk. Needless to say, I hope my kids never act this way at school. A fun page-turner, a quick story before bed.

My daughter loves the David books. This one shows all the ways that David is told "no" when he goes to school. Since my daughter is little, I'm not sure how relatable the story is for her, but she likes the David character a lot.

I bought this book for my daughter and ended up falling in love with it. The illustrations are gorgeous. I read this book to my public school middle school students as a primer for my classroom rules.

This book is great when there is a disruptive child! David is a little boy with lots of energy who knows how to drive the teacher crazy! I would recommend reading it to any of the lower grades.

Very elementary, but my 5 year old gets a kick out of this one every time he reads it. In fact, he memorized it the first time he read it.

I think the reason I like this book so much is because Natalie can "read" it herself, and hearing it in her little voice is hilarious.

what I learned from this book is how to behave. Ok, well I already knew it...but my students can look at this book all day, every day.

One of Brads favorites...imagine that. He is our Bradley David, and I am sure will have days like this when he goes to school.

Can you believe that this character was created by the writer/illustrator when he was eight or nine?

Dare I say the modern Calvin and Hobbes? No, but great illustrations of a troublesome little fellow.

Few words, but a great depiction of going to school from a child's eyes.
