About

Caldecott Medal picture book, author David Shannon's world-famous naughty boy's humorous and heart-warming commemoration of his growth. David, who always has a few unruly hairs on his head, gets a little carried away during Christmas. There are so many delicious and fun things, and David, who is at the top of the "naughty list", can't help but get into trouble. He tried to eat cookies secretly, refused to sleep in order to wait for Santa Claus, ran out naked before the snow melted, and even drew his name on the ground while peeing! I have to lament David's strong energy and challenge to his mother Bottom line courage. However, Christmas is different from the past because there is "Santa Claus" as his mother's trump card. A letter signed "Love you Santa Claus" made the forgetful David cry so sadly. The letter said, "There is no gift from you because you are naughty." David crying while holding the letter is really heartbreaking. Does David really want to spend a Christmas without gifts? Of course not! No matter how naughty the child is, his parents will let him enjoy the great joy during the important festivals of the year.

Since the publication of David Shannon's semi-autobiographical picture book "No, David!" in 1998, David has become a well-known naughty boy popular with children all over the world. He was constantly getting into little trouble, as is normal for most kids this age, and of course he was being punished a lot. What is gratifying is that whether it was his mother, teacher, Santa Claus, or brother, they all left David with warm childhood memories. Let the naughty bag grow up healthily, don’t miss it, lovely David!
