David Shannon is the author of many children's picture books that came about from his childhood. When he was a child, the only thing he knew how to write was his name, David, and the word "no." At that age, he wrote books with illustrations of things a little boy shouldn't do and then added the words "David, no!" Reflecting back as an , David Shannon had the idea to essentially recreate these books but with more elaborate pictures and a slightly bigger vocabulary. Creating different scenarios, such as David as a child, David at school, and David getting in trouble, he expanded the series and has been able to write the same books in Spanish as well. A list of his books in the "David" series is printed below with the Spanish equivalent listed in parenthesis:
-No, David (No, David)- A Caldecott Honor Book
-Oh, David (Oh, David)
-David Smells (David Huele)
-Oops! (Huy!)
-David Goes to School (David Va al Colegio)
-David Gets in Trouble (David Se Mete en Lios)
