Mr. Fox's Game of No!

David Larochelle (Author) Mike Wohnoutka (Illustrator)

Description

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."

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!"

Reviews

LaRochelle and Wohnoutka, the brilliantly witty writer and illustrator whose book See the Cat: Three Stories about a Dog won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, 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)

LaRochelle delightfully upends expectations in this tribute to the power of no. . . . A laugh-out-loud marvel of excess and pacing. . . . There's no penalty for rereading this hilarious, irresistible book--perhaps readers will out-manipulate Mr. Fox after all! You can bet on this sideshow for an interactive good time.
