REVIEW:   David Goes to School by David Shannon is one in a series of David books.  What I love about this book is the humor the author uses to portray the character of David.  David is a very mischievous child who hears the word No a lot.  (There is actually a book written in this series that is called No David!)  Even if you have a very well-behaved child, your child will be cracking up at this book.  Everyone knows someone like David!  The book is very well illustrated and is a perfect book to use in easing anxiety with starting school.  

You can review the summary of the book at Barnes and Noble's site.   You can also read an article published about the book from Publisher's Weekly.   You can check out information about the author, David Shannon on the following two websites:    http://www.scholastic.com/titles/authors/david_shannon.htm &  http://www.cbcbooks.org/cbcmagazine/meet/davidshannon.html .
