David doesnt mean to get in trouble. Its not his fault. Most of the time, its just an accident! Or maybe he forgot something. Or some furniture got in the way. Whatever the situation, David has a really good explanation . . . and it will leave kids and parents laughing. Once again, David Shannon proves he knows every excuse in the book — especially when faced with the age-old problem of dealing with grown-ups. * This memorable character is nothing short of a force of nature.—Publishers Weekly, starred review * The contemporary stylistic art is just right for depicting the boys antics and his high-energy personality.—School Library Journal, starred review
