Grow Up, David!

by David Shannon Narrated by Ben D'Amico

Overview

Laugh-aloud humor abounds when David can't resist bugging his big brother. In this funny romp, David careens from one mischievous antic to the next...until he finally wins his brother's approval.

Little-brother antics have never been so endearing - or true to life! David Shannon's beloved character in his best-selling book No, David! captures the attention and hearts of young children as few characters can. Listeners relish David's exuberance, defiance, and wildly energetic curiosity, and when there's trouble, you can bet "David did it!" Now he's taunting his older brother by eating his Halloween candy, making a bathroom mess, and following him up the tree house. "You're too little!" won't stop David's tricks in this all-time "play it again" favorite.

OCTOBER 2018 - AudioFile

Narrator Ben D’Amico captures the give-and-take of two brothers as they scrap, goof around, and shine in comradeship. Speaking from the older brother’s perspective, D’Amico delivers all the varieties of inflection that one might expect from a brother who is quick to put down his younger sibling: no following, growling, being blamed for the other brother’s antics, running to Mom, or taking without permission allowed. Ultimately, he reveals his compassion. The brotherly giggles provide a welcome ending to the story. Sound effects and background music complete the production. A.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

The New York Times Book Review - Maria Russo

With its likably mischievous hero who can't slow down, Shannon's Caldecott Honor-winning No, David! is 20 years old. This welcome fifth David book is a portrait of our hero as a pesky younger brother, his M.O. captured as always in Shannon's wavery, high-energy art.
