Hello, my wonderful reading friends! It’s Annie here, and I’m so happy you came to read with me today. Are you ready for a fun story? Let’s dive into a book about a little boy named David who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Do you know who that might be? That’s right, it’s our friend David! This story is called “No, David” by David Shannon. If you have the book, you can read along with me!
David’s mom always says, “No, David!” because he gets into all sorts of mischief. Let’s see what David is up to!
Oh no! David forgot to wipe his feet before coming inside, and now there are muddy footprints all over the carpet. Uh-oh!
David forgot to turn off the water, and it overflowed onto the floor. What a mess!
Whoops! David ran out of the house without putting on any clothes. Silly David!
“David, be quiet! Don’t play with your food!” his mom says. David needs to remember to eat nicely.
David, put your toys away! Not in the house, David!
Oh no, David played baseball inside the house and broke his mom’s vase. He feels really bad about it, and there’s a little tear on his cheek. Poor David!
Even though David gets into trouble, his mom gives him a big hug and says, “Yes, David, I love you.” David has a good heart, and his mom loves him very much.
I hope you enjoyed our story today. Remember, even if you make mistakes, you are always loved. See you next time for more fun stories!
Footprint Fun: Let’s explore what happens when we walk with muddy feet! Take a small tray and fill it with a little bit of water and mud (or use washable paint). Step into the tray with bare feet and then walk on a large sheet of paper. Observe the footprints you make. Discuss with your friends or family why it’s important to wipe your feet before entering the house. What happens if we don’t?
Water Watchers: Conduct a simple experiment to understand the importance of turning off the water. Fill a small container with water and place it in a sink. Slowly let the water overflow and observe what happens. Talk about why it’s important to turn off the water and how we can save water in our daily lives. Can you think of other ways to conserve water at home?
Tidy-Up Time: Let’s practice putting toys away just like David should! Set a timer for 5 minutes and see how many toys you can put back in their place before the timer goes off. Afterward, discuss how it feels to have a clean space. Why is it important to keep our toys organized? How does it help us and others around us?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

“No David” by David Shannon
David’s mom always said, “No, David!”
No, David! No, David! No!
Oh no, David forgot to wipe his feet before he came in the house, and look, he left muddy footprints all over the light carpet.
No, 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.
“David, be quiet! Don’t play with your food!”
Whoa, whoa, that’s enough, David. Go to your room and 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, David, come here.
Yes, David, I love you.
He may have a hard time staying out of trouble, but I think he has a good heart.
I hope you enjoyed our story today. See you next time!
