this is my first experience with a Diaper David board book, How perfect for toddlers. Common words such as "mama" and "bath" are shared with fun illustrations of David being himself, a cute story about a little boy and the things he get into
Great book for small children/babies.
The diaper david series tell a story in very few words, Fun art with interesting perspectives Caldecott Honor artist David Shannon is back with an allnew, original board book that lets young readers see what the star of the bestselling No, David! books did as a troublemaking toddler.
Oops! Did somebody make a mess! Join David as he finds himself in a few sticky situations, and learn his five favorite words along the way.
From throwing a ball to riding a tricycle to taking a bath, David sometimes has a little too much fun.
But he knows there's nothing better than cuddling with Mama at the end of a busy and exciting day, With the same irresistible humor and vibrant style as his awardwinning No, David! books, David Shannon takes us back to the "early years" of his most beloved character.
Perfect for beginning readers as well as for the youngest children! Perfect to read aloud to a toddler also fond of uttering an "oops!" facsimile.
I liked the premise of this book, My son is a sweet and wellmeaning, but active and sometimes destructive toddler so I thought he'd relate to the main character.
For each of baby's first words it shows some sort of "incident" for "dog" the little boy spills a bowl of macaroni and cheese on his poor pet.
It's very simple, each page spread being just a word, an illustration of an accident that goes with that word, and a word like "oops" to show the child's reaction.
At the end all is well when he snuggles up for a nap with his head on Mama's shoulder, This would have hadfor being a simple but sweet story, but I cannot get over the creepy appearance of David.
He reminded me of a Chucky doll! Luckily my son did not appear to be traumatized, although he also was doing his active and destructive toddler routine in the church's library of all places! and wasn't paying a lot of attention while I was reading.
I just don't understand these David books, Seriously. Early words are explored in this board book offshoot of David Shannon's beloved series, good book This is a very simple picture book with only one to three words on each page, Yet there is action and emotions drawn out in the pictures on each page, This would be a great book to read to little children to introduce reading to them as there is minimal words and more pictures in the few pages of this book.
David Shannon, Oops! Blue Sky Press,
Another in the Diaper David trilogy of prelit board books meant as a companion to Shannon's David trilogy for young readers.
Of the three, I think it's the weakest, but that's a very qualified statement: it's just as amusing as the others, and Shannon's short, tothepoint text and wonderfully creepy illustrations are just as strong as they are in the other two books.
Where I think it's “weak” is that this is a much more subtle book, aimed at teaching children causeandeffect relationshipsthat seems to me as if it's a subject that should be covered in the early readers, not in the prelit.
Which doesn't mean the kiddies aren't going to love it for the same reason they love the other two and my elevenmonthold son, also named David, is extremely fond of these, of course, but I think the causeandeffect relationships are probably flying right over his head.
Still, he loves it, and so do we, ½ Perfect for babies and toddlers, I picked it up at the library and read it to mymonthold probably six or seven times in a week.
The pictures are really fun and exciting, You will love this as much as your kids do, Cute and adequate. A very simple book to learn a few easy words, Classic David in a board book form, I like reading this book, I can identify with David, even if I haven't broken a window yet,
Both of my kids have loved this book it is very worn and we will probably have to replace it
soon.
It entertains amonth old for likeminutes at a time!!! Give me another board book that will do that! We use this as an early early reader text in my classroom.
The children like it because they feel accomplished in mastering the text and we all find the illustrations engaging, OOPS A board book, and too easy for any reader, but still a great one to read out loud to babies and toddlers.
A book about David's our favorite naughty boy first words, it's fun to see how messy and crazy he can be.
I read books at the breakfast table and even myyr old loved looking at this one, The picture of the dog with mac and cheese on his back was one of our favorites, Another win by David Shannon, Corbin loved this book of first words, He really related to the main character and enjoyed the illustrations, This is one of Emily's favorite books, It's been a primer of sorts for words, Food has been 'yum yums' for a long time, We used "bike" for "ride" but now that she is on a push toy of her own "ride" gets used more frequently.
I exaggerate the exclamations and that always makes her laugh, Now she is using the word "whee!", so my work here is done, David Shannon is the author and illustrator of many highly praised books for children, Born in Washington, D.
