Publishers Weekly
Original board books and sturdy editions for smallest hands top the shelves this winter. Fans of David Shannon's No, David! will clamor for two original Diaper David Books: Oops! and Oh, David! The first title introduces David's first words, accompanied by appropriate sound effects. The opening spread, for instance, shows "Ball" in upper and lower case letters while, opposite, the hero peers through a broken window, "Uh-oh!" The second title showcases choice words from Mommy: "Open up, Davey!" says she as the fellow refuses food; "Go to sleep, David!" depicts the wide-eyed toddler upright in his crib. These are a must for youngest book lovers and their caregivers. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

David has gotten in trouble and he's gone to school but David now ventures into the board book format. This new "Diaper David" book follows David as a diaper-wearing toddler who, like any toddler worth their salt, gets into trouble as he explores his world. Nothing serious, of course, just enough to keep Mom on her toes. In Oh, David! (another new "Diaper David" book) and OOPS!, mom's face remains hidden and she is always there at the end to deliver that reassuring message: I love you. For fans of David, OOPS! is a little gem. 2005, Blue Sky Press/Scholastic, Ages 3 to 5.—Joan Kindig, Ph.D.
