Book Overview

'NO' is RJ's least favorite word . . . and he tries his best to convince his dad, his mom, and his teacher to turn No into Maybe or We'll see or Later or I'll think about it. Even though he doesn't have much success, RJ keeps arguing until his teacher suggests that he try to join her classroom's Say YES to NO Club. If RJ can learn how to accept No for an answer and to disagree appropriately with his teacher and parents, he can add his name to the club's Star Board. RJ finds that lots of praise and some rewards come his way when he uses these skills the right way!

Author Julia Cook helps K-6 readers laugh and learn along with RJ as he understands the benefits of demonstrating these social skills both at home and in school. Tips for parents and educators on how to teach and encourage kids to use the skills of accepting No for an answer and disagreeing appropriately are included in the book.

I Just Don't Like the Sound of NO! is another title in the BEST ME I Can Be! series of books from the Boys Town Press to teach children social skills that can make home life happier and school more successful.

Winner of the 2011 MOM's Choice Awards Honoring Excelence.

   Teaches that accepting no is the way to get what you want.
In the story, the child learns to accept no because he is rewarded for doing so. He also gets a star on the school's board for accepting that many kids don't have parents who support them. The fact is, the prize he won happened to be the same thing he was told no to at the beginning of the story. I want my child to understand that there are important reasons people say no and to learn to deal with the frustration and disappointment. I thought the book Accepting No by Joy Berry was even more effective at accomplishing that goal.

   I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of strategies for learning to accept ...
I am a school social worker and I purchased this book to use in an anger control group for kindergarten and first graders. Even if we accept that there is no such thing as a free pass, I'm disappointed that there are no strategies for learning to accept no for an answer. It briefly touches on accepting no for an answer and how to disagree, but it is based on a say yes to no club at school that motivates the character to learn to take risks, earn prizes and become a good citizen. He suggests that readers learn to no for an answer and earn rewards for accepting no for an answer.

   Great book for child thetapists, teachers, and parents
I am a child therapist and have read this book hundreds of times. The book has illustrations and message that is readily conveyed to kids of how to work on accepting no nice answer. Using a story about another child, it helps open communication about how the child you are reading to can relate and provides good opportunities to build on feelings in others.

   Brilliant -- like the author had a hidden camera in my home
This book was so apropos and so by my daughter that it was positively spooky, Mrs. Booher said. The good news is that because other books in the series are listed on the back, my daughter now wants all the rest! In the life of a parent, that's a great problem to have, Raymond said.

In fact, several of my students have identified the book's main character. It was very easy to read, and was written in language my first and second graders understood. Thanks to Julia, I have purchased a number of her books and find them educational and entertaining.

   good book with good lesson
This book was written for kids who are hearing loss. My 5 year old likes to repeat the book to me and I can use the phrases from the book to remind her how she should act when we are in public without making her feel bad.

   Did not like the reward part
I've always liked the concept that kids need to say yes when an authority figure tells them no. They need to accept the no and then ask why they want to know why. They are not to argue, complain, throw a tantrum or fight about a no. My issue with the book is the spent book way too much time focusing on a reward system in the classroom setting that doesn't apply to the home situation. The kid got the smelly markers he was told by his father not to touch by school officials as a reward for good behaviour. I would have that to stay a no and the kid to enjoy the markers he already had preferred, Mr. Dhaliwal said. So the book has good material in here, but pushing this reward system club just ruined the book for home use, Hollingworth said.

   My son HATES the word NO
His son will never forget this book. Michael, who is autistic, absolutely hates the N-word. He will throw things, throw tantrums, and he will be told no, Ms. Kennedy said. We use words like not today, we say no, thank you, so that it's a little less harsh, Mr. Harrison said. He looks great, even brings me the book to read to him.
