Publisher's Synopsis
Winner at the 2018 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. A fun, tongue-in-cheek story for readers of all ages, about the importance of saying no.
Mister Yes was quite accomplished and could do a lot of different and fun things. He knew how to make paper elephants that could wave their trunks, how to do the trick where you push needles through balloons without making them pop, but what he had never learned was to say ""no". If Mister Yes was offered ce cream made of hummingbird poop and slug slime he would eat the whole bowl, although he he didn't like it at all! When a salesman asked him to buy a tennis racket with no strings, he thought of refusing, but the word "no" did not come. And he knew that junk of a racket was useless! Mister Yes was very angry at himself because he kept doing things that he didn't feel like doing, simply because he couldn't pronounce the word "NO!". One day, though, an unexpected event forced him to shut his mouth and… REFUSE.
What about you, reader, do you answer with a "yes" when you would have wanted to say "no"? A fun story for all ages, about the importance of communication and assertiveness.
Ganador en los premios Moonbeam Children's Book Awards en 2018. Una historia divertida, llena de trabalenguas, sobre la importancia de decir &«no» cuando algo no nos apetece.
El señor Sì podìa hacer un montón de cosas diferentes y divertidas. Podìa fabricar elefantes de papel que movìan la trompa, conocìa el truco para atravesar globos con agujas de punto sin reventarlos, pero lo que nunca habìa aprendido era a decir no. Si al señor Sì le ofrecìan helado de caca de colibrì y baba de babosa, él se lo comìa entero, ¡y eso que no le gustaba nada! Cuando un vendedor le pidió que le comprase una raqueta sin cuerdas, él se querìa negar, pero la palabra &«no» no salìa de sus labios. ¡Y eso que ese chisme no sirve para nada! El señor Sì estaba muy enfadado consigo mismo porque no paraba de hacer cosas que no le apetecìan, simplemente por no saber decir &«NO!». hasta que un dìa un hecho inesperado le obliga a cerrar la boca…
¿Y tú, lector, respondes con un &«sì» cuando hubieses querido decir &«no»? Una divertida historia para todas las edades, sobre la importancia de la comunicación y la asertividad.
