By David Shannon. Elementary school kids will laugh out loud as David, the pumpkin-headed, snaggle-toothed main character, breaks all the rules. He shows up late for class, goes wild on the blackboard, stares out the window, cuts in line, has a food fight, and draws on his desk. Basically, he lives out most kids’ school fantasies. But in the end, he has to pay for his naughtiness!
