Stanley Said No
A laugh-out-loud picture book about the perils of saying "NO" – and the fun to be found when you say "YES!"
Stanley is a little boy who just can't stop saying NO.
Will Stanley stop ringing the bell on the bus, over and over again? NO!
Will he queue up nicely outside the museum? NO!
Will he take a look at the fossils and dinosaurs inside? NO!
Will he pay attention to the DO NOT ENTER sign on a room that contains a large and extremely hungry monster...? NO!
Uh-oh...
This monstrously funny picture book is perfect to read aloud. Guaranteed to get little ones giggling!
