I understand that it's pure catnip to Jasons, Ethans and Rebeccas throughout the land. I've read other people's reviews of this book.

David Shannon lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Heidi, and their dog, Fergus. In 1996, he also Illustrated Audrey Wood's The Bunyans, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year and an ABC Children's Bookseller' Choice award Winner. He has written and illustrated numerous popular books for children, including How Georgie Saved Baseball, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book The Amazing Christmas Extravaganza, an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists: and most recently A Bad Case of Stripes, a selection of the Junior Library Guild. He chewed with his mouth open (and full of food), he jumped on the furniture, and he broke his mother's vase! As a result, all David ever heard his mother say was "No, David!", and this is his story.ĭavid Shannon grew up in Spokane, Washington. Here's the semi-autobiographical story of writer and artist David Shannon, the once little kid who broke all his mother's rules. And a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do. When David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book.
