I think this book is suitable for three to five years old children to read and comprehend it. The reason why I set this age range for three to five years old is that the picture is big and clear, the way to expression of this book can certainly enlarge of their power, for the description of the content are quite simple and easy to understand. That makes the children have higher motivation to read and understand this book.

Also the children who are naughty may have the same experiences as the main character, David. On the children perspective, they may think it is interesting, because they may see this book as mirror that reflects the behavior of them, such as play the glasses and pretending they are air plane and they can fly to anywhere.
It may give the compensate feeling for the children’s mind, and there is no adult in this book, therefore they can do whatever they want in their imagination world. However, in the end of this book, the mother hung with him. This may make children have the feeling of love, because the parent will love them no matter what kind of situation and bad behavior they done. This will fit the children mind that they always need the love of their family.

I think it is quite smart that the author did not describe parents’ image so that the book can successfully arouse the imagination of the children. As the adult point of view, they can fit it on their daily life. The may think their kids are devil when they are really naughty, as the result, I highly recommend this book because they can not only arouse the interest of the children also the parents.

When it comes to the content, the context “No, David” is kind of ordering sentence and repeat it again and again in this book. When the children hear to the similar sentence, it just like what our textbook said “Against another”, therefore children will feel more exciting and interesting about it.
