I say Oh, You say No by John Kane
Hello. Yes, YOU! I need your help. Can you help me read this book? Fantastic - when I say OH, you say NO. Let's try it. Would you like to meet OH? Are you sure? He's no ordinary bear . . . you see, he's a bear with a BARE BEAR BUTT! And bare butt bears like to dance. The trouble is, he'd like someone to dance with. I don't suppose you know anyone? Read the third book in the fantastically funny, award-winning I say, You say series - perfect for sharing with individual children as well as groups big and small. The reader must help tell the story through hilarious verbal and visual cues. Get ready for the best storytime yet!

Can't wait to share it with my grandchildren! -- Steve Smallman * Steve Smallman *
'The third in a series, this clever call-and-response story will make nursery storytimes come alive. The disco colours, funky typography and eleven mentions of the word 'butt' will make this wildly fun and interactive picture book a hit with EYFS classes and younger children.' -- Tom Tolkien * School Reading List *
I Say Oh, You Say No is deliciously silly and immensely cleverly crafted book which sets up a series of call and response rules with young readers to create a hilarious performative reading.
Children and parents will absolutely love reading and participating in this joyous book. It's fantastic to read one-on-one as well as group storytime. But with all the excitement it induces, it probably wouldn't make the most calming bedtime story.
The illustrations are simple and minimal within the book, but they play such an important part when combined with the hilarious text.
'a bold, colourful book'
'it can keep the giggles going for at least half an hour'
'A definite thumbs-up from us!'
'ideal for small and daring children'
This is the perfect storytime book for libraries and schools (though perhaps not best suited for a calm bedtime story, there's just too much excitement involved!). A wholly enjoyable read, highly recommended. -- Ruth Ennis * Children's Book Ireland *
John Kane's I say Ooh, You say Aah won the English 4-11 Picture Book Award and shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards. When he was younger, John liked to make up stories for his little sister.
