Shannon once again breaks new ground with a dramatic but funny “fish tale” called Jangles: A BIG Fish Story, told by a father to his son. Since then, he has written and illustrated numerous award-winning, bestselling books, including A Bad Case of Stripes Alice the Fairy The Rain Came Down and three more picture books featuring David: David Gets in Trouble David Goes to School and most recently, It’s Christmas, David! It was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and in 2011, the Blue Sky Press published it again with a colorful new cover. In 1993, Shannon published How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball, the first book he wrote himself (as an adult!). His entertaining picture book about a West Highland terrier, Good Boy, Fergus!, features the beloved family dog, and how can anyone with children not guess where Shannon got the idea for Too Many Toys? His daughter made animal noises before she could talk, so Shannon wrote Duck on a Bike, a story with lots of quacks, moos, oinks, and woofs. In the books he writes, Shannon often uses incidents and people from his own life. On every page were pictures of David doing things he was not supposed to do - and these words: “No, David!” They were the only words he knew how to spell! Many years later, when his mother sent him that book, Shannon was inspired to write and illustrate his now-classic bestseller and Caldecott Honor Book No, David! At the age of 5, he wrote and illustrated his first book.
