No No Yes Yes

Leslie Patricelli's 'No No Yes Yes' is a delightful board book designed for toddlers aged 3-7, though perfect for younger children too. It humorously illustrates common toddler behaviors, contrasting 'no' actions like pulling a cat's tail or dumping food with 'yes' actions such as gentle pats and using a spoon. The expressive baby protagonist helps children understand cause and effect and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable actions, all while fostering a sense of accomplishment for positive choices. It's a fantastic tool for parents introducing social boundaries and self-regulation in a lighthearted, engaging manner.

YES! This must-have toddler title sheds light on some concepts with a comical flair. Yanking cat by tail: no NO. Gentle pat on back: yes YES. And it’s funny how dumping a bowl of food gets a very different reaction from mastering the use of a spoon. An expressive baby demonstrates familiar behaviors — and their predictable responses — in an amusing board book that merits a giant YES!
