David Smells!
By: David Shannon
 
This Author has many books that re like this one, i have done one book talk on "David No!." this book is very easy to read and very short as well but i think it has something very important that everyone of us with have to learn. The book is about the 5 senses, touch, see, hear, taste and smell. the book gives examples that will be easy for kids to relate to and to understand. David typical is a naughty kid in the other books, so in this one hes doing things and his mother is telling him David don't touch that, don't eat that and Davis you smell. He has a dirty diaper so he smells. He makes a lot of noise by banging on all his toys and his mom tells him that he is too loud. This book is very short. It is mainly a picture book the pictures in the book are very helpful in understanding how naughty David is. The colors are not one that is in a nursery rhyme, the lines are very sharp and have an edgy side. The way David looks is kinda of like a creepy kid!
A good lesson to use in the class would be to ask kid to use the 5 senses and use an example for each just like David did. They can draw and color the pictures as well.
