About the book: David Shannon's picture books speak the language of young children: their creativity; their sometimes wild unpredictability; and their need to love and be loved. And they're funny and sweet and silly: the kinds of books that children and adults love to read and share again and again. It's Christmas, David! re-introduces that beloved scapegrace, David who is, quite naturally, over-the-moon excited that Christmas is coming. David who is trying to be good even though it gets harder and harder as the house fills up with candy canes and Christmas cookies and mysterious wrapped presents. Sometimes there are more temptations than a small boy can bear!
