یکی از کلمه های مورد علاقه کوکان *نه* است، آن هم در مقابل هر درخواست و سوالی، یک کلمه دو حرفی کلافه کننده: نه!
آرچی کوچولو تازه با کلمه نه! اشنا و عاشقش شده است. به همین دليل تصمیم می گيرد بیشتر و بیشتر از آن استفاده کند، تا اینکه استفاده از آن برایش دردسر ساز می شود...

This books shows a little rhino who learns to word no, he then answers every question with no meaning that he upsets a lot of his friends, he then learns another new word, yes. He starts using this word more meaning that he gets all his friends back due to him allowing them to play with him.

This was cute, if a little predictable. The mc gets himself into sticky situations after deciding his favorite word is "no!" What makes this not preachy is the believable mc. He acts like a little kid, not an adult's idea of a kid. The lesson may be obvious, but it is charmingly presented.

Ah. The "pleasure" of your adorable little one finding the power of "NO!" This is a cute tale of how sad it can be to always say no.

My youngest daughter (age 3 1/2) picked out this book at our library, and I read it not expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised at how sweet the story and illustrations are. At the beginning, little rhino is an adorable agreeable child - until he learns the word "No!" and uses it all the time! Until he starts to notice he's missing out on things (surprises, playing with other children, etc). When his dad comes to pick him up from kindergarten and asks if little rhino has had a good day, he naturally says no. BUT when his dad asks him if he wants a hug, he thinks for a moment and says "Yes!" and then from then on it's his new favorite word. :)

Archie, who has always been a crowd favorite for his sweet demeanor, suddenly learns a new word.

"No" became Archie's favorite word. He said that word over and over again.

Sometimes it might fit, although most times it didn't. Sometimes it didn't bring trouble for Archie either, but there were times when the word wasn't quite right, which made Archie miss the fun stuff. For example, when Archie's teacher asked students to go back to classroom before it rained.

This story is so funny! The illustrations are also cute and detailed. Archie's expression really reminded Mom of Sabio's arrogant style when he was cranky and didn't want to do anything.

A slightly predictable, but very sweet book highlighting the joy of a young rhino learning a new word that becomes their vocabulary for a while. For me, this book indicates the importance of children discovering the meaning of words themselves whilst highlighting the importance of adults understanding children when they are trying to verbalise things. Just because a young child may say a word, doesn't necessarily mean they know the definitive meaning of the word.

No! Is currently my favourite word. I say it all day every day, even when I mean to say yes. It drives mama crazy which is why I'm baffled as to why she got us this book. Baffled, but oh so pleased because Otto is the cutest rhino I've ever seen, plus he has dimples like daddy and brother. I give it 5 stars for outstanding use of language. No! No! No!

Checked this out for my son who also had recently learned how to apply the word 'No!'. This quickly became his favorite book to read, and he loved reading all the parts where Otto says 'No!'. Super cute visuals, sweet and simple story, easy to read over and over again. May have to get a copy for home.

I would definitely use this book with EYFS children as the phrase “no” is something the children can join in and engage with. I love the message that this book portrays that by saying yes it sometimes provides opportunities to try new things and make new friends, which I think will resonate with children of this age.

Kanskje egentlig tenkt for barnehagebarn, og native speakers. Men de kan lett taes inn som spiselesing til jul i første klasse. Den ene handler om ja og nei, den andre bader deg i julekultur og engelske julebegreper, samt at det å være litt rampete og konsekvenser av det adreseres også, og det kan jo være nyttig!

What parent hasn't dealt with a toddler who has learned the word no and uses it liberally every day? This book is a good book for those children, and a reminder that we get further in life (and get more out of it) by learning to say YES.

This would be a good book to read with FS children, as there are lots of colours which are used to portray emotions and shows the impact of vocabulary - how much saying 'no' affected Archie's life.

Extra relatable as I’m currently living through this with my toddler. The illustrations are also adorable.

Super cute book that focuses on tackling the issues of tantrums. Very relatable and a great way to get kids to see the effects of their tantrums in a different light

Um livro divertido que pretende ensinar às crianças onde é que a teimosia as pode conduzir.
Vá...às crianças e aos muitos adultos teimosos que povoam este planeta (eu incluída...)!

Very relatable content for children as this is definitely something that will resonate with them. I find this book rather funny and think it would be good to explore in KS1.

Adorable. Otto is a rhinoceros. Everyone thinks he is cute. Then he learns the word "no," and it's the only word he says. Which doesn't work out so great for him. Good lesson in the end.
