A classic. The best part is when you're reading this to kindergartners and they squeal at the page where you see David's butt.

I love the ending when his mom gives him a hug and tells him that she loves him, even though he's so naughty. ( )

One of my personal favorite childhood books, this book follows a kid named David who is constantly being told not to do something. This book is a super fun read with funny illustrations for children to follow along to. I would say that this book is a perfect read for younger kids around the ages of 3-6.

While now this story may seem a bit controversial, this story will always be seen as such a classic and a funny read. ( )

The best part of this book is that he wrote his original draft of it when he was 6. And yes, the author's name is David.
