???? Fun Story Time with David Books

Hello, my reading friends! Today, we have a special treat with four fun stories about a little boy named David. These stories are all about David’s adventures and the things he learns. Let’s dive into the stories and see what David is up to!

No, David!

In this story, David’s mom often says, “No, David!” because he forgets to do things like wipe his feet, and he makes a mess. Oh no! David also forgets to turn off the water, and it spills everywhere. Sometimes, he even runs outside without his clothes! Silly David!

David’s mom tells him to be quiet and not to play with his food. But David doesn’t always listen. He plays baseball inside the house and accidentally breaks a vase. Oh dear! But even when David makes mistakes, his mom always says, “Yes, David, I love you.”

David Gets in Trouble

When David gets in trouble, he often says, “It’s not my fault!” or “I didn’t mean to.” He might say, “It was an accident!” or “I forgot!” Sometimes, he even blames his dog for eating his homework. But in the end, David always says, “I’m sorry. I love you, Mom.”

David Goes to School

At school, David’s teacher often says, “No, David!” because he yells, pushes, and runs in the halls. David needs to sit down, not chew gum, and raise his hand. He learns to pay attention and wait his turn. After a busy day, David finishes his work and gets to go home. Good job, David!

Grow Up, David

David’s big brother sometimes says, “No, David!” because David is still learning. He tells David to stop following him and to grow up. They have fun together, but sometimes they argue. In the end, they play together, and David’s brother says, “Nice catch, Dave!”

These stories show us that even when we make mistakes, we can learn and grow. And remember, just like David, we are always loved!

  • Can you think of a time when you made a mistake like David? What happened, and how did you feel afterward?
  • Why do you think David’s mom and teacher say “No, David!” so often? How do you think they feel when David makes mistakes?
  • Have you ever had to say “I’m sorry” to someone? What did you learn from that experience, and how did it make you feel?
  1. Role-Playing David’s Day: Let’s pretend to be David and his mom! You can take turns with a friend or family member acting out scenes from the stories. What would you do if you were David? How would you feel if you were his mom? This helps us understand how our actions affect others and how we can learn from our mistakes.

  2. David’s Adventure Drawing: Draw a picture of a new adventure for David. What fun or silly thing might he do next? Think about what he might learn from this adventure. Share your drawing with the class and explain what David learned in your story.

  3. Everyday David Moments: Throughout the week, look for moments when you might say “No, David!” to yourself. Maybe you forgot to clean up your toys or didn’t listen to a teacher. Think about how you can turn these moments into learning experiences, just like David. Share one of these moments with the class and what you learned from it.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

Hello, my reading friends! Today, I have a special treat for all of you who love the David books. We have four David books in this one video, including two new readings of “No, David!” and “David Goes to School.” I hope you’ll enjoy them!

**No, David!** by David Shannon

David’s mom always said, “No, David! No, David! No, David! Oh no, David!” He forgot to wipe his feet before coming in the house and left muddy footprints all over the carpet. “No, no, not this time!” He forgot to turn off the water, and it overflowed onto the floor. “Come back here, David!” Whoops! He ran out of the house without putting on any clothes.

[Music]

“David, be quiet! Don’t play with your food.” Well, that’s enough, David. “Go to your room. Settle down! Ooh, stop that this instant! Put your toys away. Not in the house, David! I said no, David!” Oh no, he played baseball in the house when he wasn’t supposed to, and look what happened! He broke his mom’s vase. But it looks like he feels really bad about what he did. Do you see that little tear running down his cheek?

“Oh, Davey, come here.” “Yes, David, I love you.”

**David Gets in Trouble** by David Shannon

When David gets in trouble, he always says, “No, it’s not my fault! I didn’t mean to.”

[Music]

“It was an accident! Do I have to? I forgot! David, wait! My dog ate my homework! I couldn’t help it; I was hungry, but she liked it.”

[Music]

“It slipped! But Dad says it—excuse me—no, it wasn’t me!” “Yes, it was. I’m sorry. I love you, Mom.”

**David Goes to School** by David Shannon

David’s teacher always said, “No, David! No yelling! No pushing! No running in the halls! David, you’re tardy! Sit down, David! Don’t chew gum in class.” “I know, I know.” “David, raise your hand! Keep your hands to yourself! Pay attention! Wait your turn, David! I don’t care who started it!”

“David, recess is over! Shhh! Again, that’s it, mister! You’re staying after school.”

“David, have you finished?” “Uh-huh.” “Good job, David! Yes, David, you can go home now.”

**Grow Up, David** by David Shannon

David’s big brother always said, “No, David! Oh, you’re too little! Oh, stop following me! Grow up, David!” Very funny, David. “David did it!” “Uh-oh, that’s mine! Go ahead, come on, give it back, David.”

[Music]

“Have a nice trip!” “Make me!” “Oh, he hit me first! Thanks a lot, David! Want to play?” “David, are you okay?”

[Music]

“Nice catch, Dave!”
