About This Book
Reach for this book when you and your little one have had a long day of boundary-pushing and corrections. It is perfect for children who are testing their independence and hearing the word no more often than they would like. This classic story follows an energetic, mischievous boy named David through a series of messy and loud antics that will feel very familiar to families of toddlers and preschoolers. While the book humorously depicts David's many missteps, its true value lies in the resolution. It addresses the big feelings of shame and guilt that follow a timeout or a broken rule, providing a much-needed reassurance that a parent's love is unconditional and remains intact even after a difficult moment. It is a comforting, essential read for children ages 2 to 5 who are learning about rules, consequences, and forgiveness.
