Book Reviews of No, David!

Book Review: David, One Bad Mother
Summary: 5 Stars

So my girlfriend's niece just turned three and I figured, "Hey, let's buy the kid some picture books!" After all, kids like to hear stories and they like big pictures, right? So we head to the children's section and there's a ton of books meeting said description. Let me be honest, my friends, when I say that children's books are some of the wimpiest literature you can find.

Sure, you can put the kid to sleep reading her some silly story about a giant dog, but I remember being captivated by the stories of a troubled monkey named Curious George who'd get high on ether, set zoo animals free, and report fake fires to the fire department before getting put in jail. Now that was someone I wanted to know more about!

So I find this book about a kid named David who's of the troublesome variety, a real character. Thrill to David sculpting tribal folk art with his dinner. Cheer as he runs free and naked down the sidewalk. Raise your fist in triumph as he picks his nose, all to the protests of his mother. David is the anti-hero we've all been waiting for, as loveable as he is iconoclastic.

Well, I bought the book and FEDEX-ed it to my girlfriend's niece a week ago and it came back yesterday. "Maybe something more reserved would suit her better," read the accompanying note.

"Moms," I thought to myself as I pictured David's sharp-toothed grin, "they just don't know what's up."
