NO!
REVIEWS: Ana Rodriguez
(Birth to 3) • By Tracey Corderoy
school, and on the playground. It is a great book for toddlers to
learn the power of yes, instead of NO. The book takes us through
a normal day in the life of a toddler and his parents. The journey
covers getting ready for school, being in the classroom, taking
a bath, and getting ready
for bed. New parents will
especially connect to this
story because, soon, “NO”
will become a large part
of your child’s vocabulary.
While short and realistic
(despite featuring a family of
rhinos), NO! is an adorable
way to think and learn about
the behavior of toddlers.

prey, and the girls like an octopus or monster with
tentacles. When Kyle realizes that even if he broke
the rules, he will survive and learn how to act on
the bus by being himself. This book will capture
your child’s attention on a prevalent subject like
bullying because of the way the story is told...

but him! But af ter
