Let's Talk About Saying No

Joy Berry's down-to-earth approach not only shows children when it is appropriate, but gives specific advice as to “how to say no” in those instances. Like all of Joy Berry's books, Let's Talk About Saying No speaks directly to the child and acts as a problem-solving resource for parents and caregivers. The book is filled with full-color illustrations and simple text that make the sometimes-difficult information easy to take in.

This does a decent job of talking about saying no. It does not have anything about touching or bodies, which is disappointing. Especially when at the end it says you must always be polite when saying no. Kids should typically be polite saying no, absolutely. BUT we need to teach them about bodily autonomy and consent and that those no's do not need to be polite.

Love Joy Berry's work and series, including this book.

I get the idea of what the author was trying to say; however; a child won't. And the way the book is written it even makes it too confusing to explain it to a child in simple terms.

Such a great book for kids and adults to read together!! Joy Berry has a wonderful way of bringing things to a kids level to help them understand things better. Sometimes as an adult we forget kids see and process the world differently than us.

Beautifully illustrated to help kids pay attention while learning valuable life lessons!

This series is wonderful for any home or classroom! I want them for he community center where I work!! I am also thrilled they are being made available as ebooks!!

Part of a series called "Let's Talk About" this one is about saying no. Great book that talks about when to say no, it shows some examples of when it's good to say no and when it's not as good to say no and gives reasons why.

I got this book to read to my two year old class since their most recent favorite word is "no". I feel like it is great for modeling when and when not to use the word.
