Brief Summary/Book Usage: This picture book tells a story of a little boy named David who is trying any and every way possible to annoy his mother. He is full of ideas and bouncing off the walls and definitely refusing to settle down and get ready for bed. He wants to run around the house and play all night but his mother insists he gets ready for bed. She gives him a bath and soon after he is calmed down and ready for bed. This mother had a very eventful day with David, but he finally went to sleep for the night. I would use this book in my classroom again as a fun and cute story to read during storybook time. I know younger students can relate to wanting to stay up late and skip out on their bedtime. The pictures definitely add to the feel of the story and show just how bad David does not want to go to sleep. I believe students would find this story funny and enjoy the pictures as well.
