No, David!  by David Shannon

A young, curious boy seems to do all the wrong things. After being told "No!" many times, he is finally punished. Just when he begins to feel unloved, he receives a life changing "Yes!"

  

How these stories are connected: We encounter all sorts of rules and regulations in life. Almost always, these rules exist to keep us safe. These stories both explore the boundaries between what we should and shouldn't do and explore the connection between obedience and love.
