"No"--the word toddlers hear most--figures prominently in this spirited book as it tags along after an impishly drawn boy constantly reprimanded for doing something he shouldn't. Robustly colored close-ups of David flooding the bathtub and jumping on the bed convey his surplus energy while endearing him to readers, who will be glad to see his mother reassuring him of her love at the end.
