 No, David! Celebrate 25 Years of Everyone’s Favorite Troublemaker

Mar 11, 2025

He’s back! And he may just be naughtier — and funnier — than ever! 

Twenty-five years after the release of the Caldecott-Honor winning classic No, David!, best-selling picture book creator David Shannon has brought David back for even more shenanigans!

Order your copy of That’s Not Funny, David! today.

Since the first 1998 installment, readers have laughed, gasped, and even got the warm fuzzies from following along with David’s adventures. We’ve seen the little rascal cause trouble at school, taunt his older brother, and even learn valuable lessons.   

And now David is back — and determined to get lots of laughs out of everyone. From cannonballs into the pool to slurping his spaghetti to telling funny jokes during class, David is a natural comedian. But in Shannon’s delightfully illustrated new picture book, David learns that not all of his tricks are funny... like sticking things up his nose! Still, this troublemaker will always have the last laugh and, of course, the enduring love of his mom.
