 The title of the book is Grow Up David, written by David Shannon. David's big brother always said, no, David. David's brother plays football. David stands on the sidelines and says, I want to play. No, you're too little. Sorry. David's brother climbs up the ladder into the treehouse and David follows. His brother sticks out his foot to keep him from climbing up. No, stop following me. David's brother is focused on his homework. David goofs off sticking pencils in his mouth and making silly faces. Grow up, David. David sneakily crawls under his big brother's legs and ties his shoelaces together. Very funny, David. The toilet bowl is filled with all kinds of things. A toy plane, a plunger, toilet paper. I did it. The Halloween candy David collected trick or treating is piled up on his bed and he stuffs his face. That's mine. His big brother tackles him to the ground and dangles drool over his face. David tries to wriggle free. Go ahead. Call mom. The drool hangs getting closer and closer to David's face. David's big brother has a picture of a girl. David snatches the picture from him and runs. His brother chases him. Give it back, David. David walks with his drink when his brother sticks out his foot to trip him. Have a nice trip. As David trips the drink spills, his big brother holds his arm out to keep David from punching him. David punches the air. Make me. David screams and cries. He hit me. The table lamp is knocked over and the living room's a mess. Thanks a lot, David. David sits and pouts. His big brother asks, Want to play? One night, David reaches for the football. Mid-air, David caught the football and fell on his back. Everyone rushes over. David, are you okay? Nice catch, Dave. Get over here. His brother says, as he gives him a noogie, Dave smiles ear to ear.
