The Beginning....




I love children's literature. There is nothing like introducing a child to what ends up becoming his or her favorite book. I teach second grade. I always start the year off with a dose of David Shannon. I love to laugh and I love to hear my students laugh. A sure way to get a laugh is to read No, David. This book is a great ice-breaker. It is also a conversation starter. Most of my students can relate to young David, who finds himself in trouble a lot.


Other books about David include David Gets in Trouble and David Goes to School. My students also enjoy the books Duck on a Bike and Alice the Fairy by David Shannon.
