The WORST Book on the 101 Picture Book Challenge List!
No, David! by David Shannon Well, it is. The title is “No, David!” written and illustrated by David Shannon. A toddler is depicted doing things for which he gets into trouble, but it ends with a hug. Wait one minute here! He gets rewarded for doing bad things? Are you kidding me? Yes, because “No, David!” is an outrageous look at little ones, as they discover their distinctive personalities. It really is one terrific book; but it’s still the “worst!” |

More Amusing Picture Books to Read to Your Preschooler
Owl Bat, Bat Owl by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick An owl and a bat family endeavor to share living spaces on the same tree branch, where initial wariness is overcome by the curiosity of the families’ babies on a wild and stormy night that compels them to set aside their apprehensions. Differences don’t matter in the end. A treat for learning about colors, night and day, birds and bats, and overcoming obstacles together. |
 Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy CummingsA dog looking for a home sends letters to prospective owners on Butternut Street, with surprising results. A romp from one end of town to the other with this lovable dog. It’s a hound book after all. And if you own a hound, you will understand it all! |
 Stack the Cats by Susie GhahremaniA counting book illustrating how a group of cats can be organized into different size groupings. It is hilarious, and storytime children love what happens to the cats. This book is also on the 101 Picture Book Challenge list. |
