    Kids like it...

    I work with children and every kid I've seen (mostly younger but older kids, too,) reading the David books like them a lot. They giggle when they see his bare bottom but don't dwell on it. I would have kids five years and up read them because they will understand that his behavior is naughty and "not allowed".

    cute, but...

    cute book, but, david's bare bottom is shown as he runs out of the house as his mom says "no david". my kids were a little immature for this humor.
