ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten David Gets in Trouble & No, David! | A Series of Books About Being A Kid
Hi there, little friends! Today, we’re going to have some fun with two special stories about a boy named David. These stories are called “No, David!” and “David Gets in Trouble,” and they were written by a man named David Shannon. Let’s dive into these exciting tales!
Once upon a time, when David Shannon was a little boy, he made a book with just two words: “no” and “David.” Why? Because those were the only words he knew how to spell! He wrote about all the things his mom told him not to do. When he grew up, he made it into a real book called “No, David!”
In the story, David’s mom often says, “No, David!” because he’s always getting into mischief. Maybe he’s reaching for yummy cookies or making a mess. But guess what? Even when she says “no,” she still loves him very much!
David hears a lot of “No, David!” like when he runs around, makes noise, or plays with his food. Sometimes, he even has too much food in his mouth! His mom tells him to go to his room or turn off the TV. But at the end of the day, she always says, “I love you, David!” Moms are the best, aren’t they?
In this story, David gets into a bit of trouble. When he does, he often says, “No, I didn’t do it!” But we know he did, right? Sometimes he blames his brother or says it was an accident.
David might say, “Do I have to?” when asked to do something. He might even say, “My dog ate my homework!” Have you ever made funny faces or tried dog food? David does all sorts of silly things, but he learns to say, “I’m sorry,” and that’s important!
It’s okay to make mistakes, just like David. We all do! What’s important is to say sorry and learn from them. When you apologize, everything gets better, and your family still loves you very much!
We hope you enjoyed these stories about David. Remember, it’s fun to read and learn new things. What do you do at home that makes your mom say “no”? Let us know! Keep reading, and we’ll see you next time for more adventures. Bye-bye!
David’s Day Adventure: Let’s pretend to be David for a day! Think of something you might do that could make your mom say “no.” Draw a picture of it and then draw what you could do instead to make her say “yes.” Share your drawings with your friends and talk about why it’s important to make good choices.
Oops and Sorry Game: Play a game with a friend or family member where you take turns acting out a little mistake, like spilling water or forgetting to clean up toys. The other person has to guess what the mistake is and then say, “I’m sorry” for it. Talk about how saying sorry can make things better and how you feel when someone says sorry to you.
David’s Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” at home. Every time you do something nice or helpful, like sharing toys or helping clean up, write it on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, count how many kind things you did and celebrate with a fun activity or treat. This helps us remember that being kind is important, just like learning from our mistakes!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] Hi kids! Welcome to Story Time Family. Today, we have the “No, David!” series, featuring “No, David!” and “David Gets in Trouble,” both by David Shannon.
“No, David!” is based on a book that the author, David Shannon, created when he was a little boy. It consists of the words “no” and “David” because those were the only words he knew how to spell and write. He made a book out of all the things his mom used to tell him not to do, using those words. Years later, as a grown-up, he decided to write and illustrate this book called “No, David!” to commemorate his childhood.
Now, let’s take a look at this book, shall we?
“No, David!” by David Shannon. David’s mom always said, “No, David!” I bet there are some yummy chocolate chip cookies in there, but what she’s really saying is, “I love you, but don’t break things.”
“No, David! No! Come back here, David! Have you done this before? David, be quiet. How many times have you heard that today? Don’t play with your food. That’s enough, David! That’s a lot of food in your mouth. I wish I could eat that much. Go to your room. No more TV. Settle down. Why do we always go crazy before bedtime? Stop that this instant! That is not a cute look, David. Put your toys away. But it’s more fun this way, right? Not in the house, David! I said, ‘No, David!’ Davey, come here. Yes, David? I love you. Oh, moms are the best!”
Now, let’s take a look at “David Gets in Trouble.” When he gets in trouble, he likes to say, “No, I didn’t do it!” But you know he did, right? Just like how my son says it all the time: “His brother did it!” “I didn’t mean to!” “It was an accident!”
“Okay, do I have to? But don’t you like eggs, David? I love eggs! How about you? Do you like your eggs? Yes, you do, David! Oh dear, my dog ate my homework. I think he’s telling the truth, though, don’t you think? I couldn’t help it. Do you like making funny faces, or do you just hate taking photos? I was hungry. Is that dog food? Now tell me, have you ever tried dog food? You sure? But she likes it! Now, I can tell you for sure that cats do not like their tails being pulled. It slipped, okay?”
[Applause]
“But just because that says it doesn’t mean you should excuse it. No, it wasn’t me! I promise! That cake does look really tempting. Yes, it was me. I’m sorry. Now, it’s okay to get in trouble, but you should always be accountable for the things you do and be sorry for it. Apologize, and everything will be fine. I love you, Mom.”
[Music]
So, we know what’s most important is being accountable for what you do. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them, and that’s how you grow. But make sure you say sorry and apologize, and everything will be okay. You know Mommy still loves you, right?
