Perhaps that is what confused me, sorry all I like bracketed picture descriptions to decipher from actual text, just a pet peeve of mine, sorry!

forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be
sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way
people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want
the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of
the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter

I can't address comparative worth of the picture descriptions, but they are there. My complaint is they are not bracketed as being added text. I thought that was a copyright no-no.

Try the other David Shannon book about little David who is always told No. The words themselves mean NOTHING without the picture descriptions. You'll just have page after page of "No, David" and you don't know what David is doing without knowing what the picture looks like. I am pretty sure I proofed another David book too with all of the picture descriptions included.

The Elephants book Robert referred to does not have EVERY picture described and I think that is what you are looking for.

I may have my original copy of No, David somewhere on a disc, dvd or hard drive but I will have to look for it later or tomorrow.

I usually keep books I scan or proofread just for backup purposes. I never read them but I can't bring myself to delete them.
