Synopsis

Laugh-aloud humor abounds when David can't resist bugging his big brother. In this funny romp, David careens from one mischievous antic to the next... until he finally wins his brother's approval.Little-brother antics have never been so endearing -- or true to life! David Shannon's beloved character in his bestselling book No, David! captures the attention and hearts of young children as few characters can. Readers relish David's exuberance, defiance, and wildly energetic curiosity, and when there's trouble, you can bet "David did it!" Now he's taunting his older brother by eating his Halloween candy, making a bathroom mess, and following him up the tree house. "You're too little!" won't stop David's tricks in this all-time "read it again" favorite. With millions of copies in print and four sequels, No, David! hit the ground running in 1998 and was a Caldecott Honor Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, and a classic for 20 years. Based on a book the author wrote and illustrated when he was five, David captures the timeless no-no's familiar to every child. Grow Up, David! is nothing short of exhilarating.

You just can’t miss with one of David Shannon’s David books. My personal favorite is David Goes to School, which I have read aloud to kids in English and Spanish (David va a la escuela), but they’re all great!

Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 26, 2018

This has the same brief text and bright, talkative illustrations that the other David books have. Unfortunately, the older brother is just mean, the typical older brother you saw in 80's and 90's sitcoms. A lot of parents may find it a bit too mean-spirited especially if they've done a good job in cu......more

Yet another installment in the series chronicling the adventures of irrepressible David. Although I prefer some of the other David tales, this latest edition focuses on an experience with which many children will immediately identify.......more
