My brothers use to always read this book (probably where they got all their bad ideas from!) I always thought David was a little creepy looking but the Caldecott committee must of liked something about it! Good realistic fiction choice.
ReplyDeleteI always found this book funny growing up! I agree with you that students who are trouble makers would be able to make connections to the character in the book.
