Mr Fox's Game of "No!" by David Larochelle

Mr Fox's Game of "No!" by David Larochelle

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.”

“Brilliantly witty. 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

“A laugh-out-loud marvel of excess and pacing. . . . There’s no penalty for rereading this hilarious, irresistible book.” Kirkus Reviews

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!”
