David Shannon

David Shannon Author

Internationally acclaimed picture-book creator David Shannon has always been an artist. At the age of five, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were pictures of David doing things he was not supposed to do — and these words: No, David! — the only words he knew how to spell! Many years later, when his mother sent him that book, Shannon was inspired to write and illustrate his now-classic bestseller and Caldecott Honor Book No, David!



No David! by Shannon. The book that started it all!



Bugs in my Hair by Shannon.  This book is guaranteed to make you laugh - and tch! Nobody talks about them, but they are everywhere. (Some estimate 20 million children a year host them.) Oh the shame and humiliation of having bugs in your hair! But if you go to school, or have play dates, chances are good you might meet themsomeday. Maybe you already have! Lucky for you, the unwelcome bugs in this story are so funny you will be laughing aloud - even when Mom attacks them with battle-tested anti-lice weapons.


Duck on a Bike by Shannon. One day down on the farm, Duck got a wild idea. "I bet I could ride a bike," he thought. He waddled over to where the boy parked his bike, climbed on and began to ride.



A Bad Case of Stripes by Shannon. Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don't like them. And Camilla Cream is very, very worried about what other people think of her. In fact, she's so worried that she's about to break out in...a bad case of stripes!

Book Jacket for: Too many toys

Too Many Toys by Shannon. Spencer has too many toys! His father trips over them, his mother falls over them, and the house is overflowing with junk. Now its time to give some of the mountain of goodies away, but Spencer finds it hard.
