Description
Book Synopsis
In a hilarious interactive picture book, the Geisel Award-winning creators of See the Cat challenge kids to answer every question with "NO"--even when their brain keeps insisting "YES." Can you beat Mr. Fox at his Game of No? The rules are simple: every time he asks a question, you must respond with "NO." If you accidentally say "YES," then it's back to the beginning of the book for you, where you must start all over again. Are you ready? (Oops!) Do you live on planet Earth? Are you stronger than a baby? What does Y-E-S spell? (Argh!) Kids will giggle uncontrollably as they gamely aim to avoid Mr. Fox's clever traps--but just ask them if they'd like to read this book again, and they won't be able to resist: "YES!"Review Quotes
LaRochelle and Wohnoutka, the brilliantly witty writer and illustrator whose book See the Cat: Three Stories about a Dog won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, take kids on a vicarious adventure of sneaky questions designed to trip up and amuse listeners in equal measure. . . . A clever, hilarious picture book!
--Booklist (starred review) LaRochelle delightfully upends expectations in this tribute to the power of no. . . . A laugh-out-loud marvel of excess and pacing. . . . There's no penalty for rereading this hilarious, irresistible book--perhaps readers will out-manipulate Mr. Fox after all! You can bet on this sideshow for an interactive good time.
--Kirkus Reviews

Get ready for lots of laughter and giggles. If you are offered a giant ice cream sundae covered with delicious toppings, would you say no? Of if you were invited to a great beach party in Hawaii, that included swimming with dolphins, and possibly getting a million dollars, would you say no to that? Wouldn’t you like to know what it would take to get you to allow something really gross to happen? Well, Mr. Fox could get you to do it. Find out his secret inside this book. Not only will you find that answer, there are other fun things waiting to be discovered. Since this is another amazing story from David LaRochelle, be ready to smile ear-to-ear. Do not be surprised if little ones to want to play their own game of no. I highly recommend this over-sized, five-plus star, picture book. It checks all the boxes for a great story: colorful illustrations, attention grabbing ideas, and gives a good time. Children three-to-seven-years-old will enjoy this. Now run, don’t walk, to get your copy. Thank you, Candlewick Books, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
