A DAVID SHANNON ILLUSTRATION FROM OOPS! SHANNON, DAVID. B.1959. 'Bath / Ahh!' Graphite and acrylic on paper of Diaper David soaking in a tub with toys, signed ('Shannon') at lower left, 18.5 x 31 cm, matted and framed to 26 x 39 cm. Provenance: Every Picture Tells a Story, c.2005. Oops! was the fourth of Shannon's books to feature David, but the first to show him as the toddler 'Diaper David' instead of the rambunctious five-year-old he is in No, David! David Goes to School and David Gets in Trouble. The book opens 'David's first words were...' followed by each spread highlighting a different word: 'Ball / Uh-oh!; Dog / Oops!; Ride / Whee!; Eat / Yum!' The present illustration—'Bath / Ahh!'—comes just before the last, which is 'Mama.'
