I JUST DON’T LIKE THE SOUND OF NO!

By Julia Cook. Illustrated by Kelsey De Weerd. Argumentative RJ always tries to convince his dad, his mom, and his teacher to turn "No" into "Maybe" or "We’ll see" or "Later"—until his teacher persuades RJ to join her classroom’s "Say YES to NO" Club." As RJ learns to accept "no" and disagree appropriately, he finds that lots of praise and some rewards come his way. A 32-page teacher’s guide provides activity ideas and reproducible handouts that are also printable from a CD-ROM. Grades K–3. Boys Town Press. 32 pages. ©2011.
