It's Christmas, David!


It's Christmas, David! 
Scholastic, 2010 

Summary:  As usual, everyone's favorite bad boy, David, is up to his useful mischievous self.  As his curiosity lures him into trouble during the Christmas season, David learns what isn't socially acceptable.  

Lesson:  No one reinforces socially acceptable and unacceptable behaviors better than David.  Children love his books.  So I decided to read this one during December's storytime.  The kids laughed at David's antics and corrected his behavior.  Many of them made life connections between David and themselves.  This one stayed checked out for the rest of the school year. 

Level:  PreK-1st

  1. That book is hysterical! I love David Shannon's books, especially A Bad Case of Stripes.

  2. Yes, David Shannon is a genius. The kids relate immediately with his books. And as a parent/teacher, I can relate also. But why isn't it as funny when it happens in real life??
