Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Whether childhood was many many moons ago, or just the other day, we all have moments from those days where we might have mistaken our name for the word NO. I mean, everyone gets into things sometimes, right? Everyone let's temptation get the better of them? Well, today's little lad gets into more than MOST! Let's check out the latest addition to the No, David! series from author/illustrator David Shannon...

This is a series that kiddos can relate to and adults can sigh at while trying not to laugh! If you've stepped into David's world before, this new adventure may not be as surprising because honestly, he gets up to A LOT, but for those newly brought into the circle (*raises hand*), you're in for a few gasps, giggles, and guffaws at the very least. From artwork created by idle hands and an ill placed marker to finally understanding why cats have and USE their whiskers, there's a little something for everyone to either look fondly back at, or consider from a new angle (and age!) like never before. Honestly, the joke in my house is that I was born an adult, so many of the antics I can totally say I haven't done first hand, but I mean I know a story about my mom (from her youth) and a screw that ended up somewhere it shouldn't, and who HASN'T reveled in the moment you managed to make someone jump out of their skin...even if it WAS unintentional...mostly. *ahem*
A fun way to look at childhood through the child's eyes, and another way to take on the challenges that rearing up kiddos can bring...with patience, kindness, and a whole lot of smiles.
