Author Spotlight: David Shannon

I'll bet you've read his books, even if you think you've never heard of him. With classics like No, David and Duck Rides a Bike, he is sure to become a picture book standard.  What I think I like best about him is his wide range of topics and illustration styles.  The David series is wonderful with its predictable, simple text and bright illustrations.  Any child who has ever been told no will love these books.

His books target anywhere from toddlers to school agers.  Check him out next time you go to the library or book store!  I promise your child won't tire of any of his books (even if you do!)

Ages 1-3
David Smells
Oh David
No David
Good Boy Fergus!

Ages 2-5
Duck on a Bike

Ages 4 and up
How I Became a Pirate
Pirate Don't Change Diapers
Alice the Fairy
A Bad Case of the Stripes

A favorite of mine is called Rough Faced Girl.  It's based on a Native American legend that has hints of the gospel.  Check it out!
