Grumpy Cat: No-It-All: Everything You Need to No

by Grumpy Cat

Grumpy Cat is back with a mission: Teach the world to "NO" everything. She's collected all her least favorite things and can't wait to tell everyone what to think about them. Grumpy Cat: No-It-All is packed with feel-good topics just begging for a cranky makeover: kittens, rainbows, smiles, birthday parties, cuddles, and more. Anyone who takes delight in sometimes seeing the glass half empty will love the hilarious new photos and commentary from the official mascot of misery. Where others say "aww!," Grumpy Cat teaches us to say "ugh." Nothing sweet is safe from this famous frown.

One of the pictures was leading to a very horrific and violent thought, not funny AT ALL. Grumpy Cat is grumpy, not murderous. 3 stars. Would have been higher without that one picture set up.

(It’s the magician one. Maybe I’m too sensitive, but it was in extremely bad taste.)

[Ellen Gail]

This was dumb as hell and I enjoyed it anyway.

Can't wait to put Grumpy Cat's Seal of Disapproval all over my work.

[Gina]

A Very Important list. Very possibly THE most important list you will ever read. BuzzFeed has nothing on this.

[Gary Butler]

31st book read in 2018.

Number 509 out of 691 on my all time book list.

No. A lot of no. Not as witty as previous books.

[Laura Harrison]

It's Grumpy Cat! 'nuff said.

[Kirsti]

One of my Christmas presents, and I read it during lunch! Of course, it's well known that I love Grumpy cat, so of course I read it quickly. I love it and highly recommend it to Grumpy fans. No!

[Hunter]

if you want to read no then this is your book

[Carol McCarthy]

Very cute.

[Sharon Huether]

I won this Free book through Goodreads First-reads. A book for all cat lovers. Grumpy Cat always says no. I really liked all the beautiful illustrations. The stickers on the back page are so cool!! Thanks Goodreads.

[Chey]

I absolutely love this book! It was funny, very entertaining, and just pessimistic enough for me to fully enjoy, so it's getting five stars from me.

I highly recommend book if you want a fun, quick read!

[Stephanie]

I can't say enough about this book. Absolutely perfect, engaging and provides stickers for later activities. Grumpy Cat rocks! (She would probably disapprove of this message)

[Andrew Myers]

Short and sweet, but not one I’d read again.

[Julie]

This is the third Grumpy cat book I have read and it is funny, enjoyable, and a quick read!

Here are a few of my favorites excerpts:

"Grumpy cat walks out if interview."

"Smiles must be stopped says international committee on the elimination of smiles."

"This is what a basket of bad breath looks like."

"Quit while you are ahead. Quit while you are behind. The important thing to remember is this: Quit."

"There's no "I" in team. There's no "you" either."

I definitely would recommend this book to anyone in need of a good laugh.

[flor !!]

[Zoe]

Yes. Just yes.

[Elizabeth]

Just Say Yes to Grumpy Cat. So horrible and awful. Should you read this? No! I mean yes. Of course this an adorable book. Every Grumpy Cat fan needs one. As a bonus there are peel off stickers in the back of the book. Read it and weep.

[Amber Ruda]

Cute, fast read, I like grumpy cat 😾

[Sofia Guardado]

Grumpy cat is back with the new yes: No. She is back to save the world from being positive. With this book u will stay a grumpy camper. I recommend this book. It is funny like every other grumpy cat book. But this one stands out, it is one of the best grumpy cat books ever.

[Kristina]

This was a waste of the three minutes it took me to read it. However, young children will probably enjoy the grumpy cat pictures and his inability to say anything beyond "no." In the spirit of the grumpy cat, I was not amused.

[Georgia H.]

Grumpy Cat: No-It-All: Everything You Need to No is a quick, funny novelty book built around Grumpy Cat’s signature deadpan pessimism.

The book takes the relentlessly cheerful tone of self-help and inspirational advice and flips it completely, offering a cranky “no” to just about everything. Smiles, cuddles, rainbows, parties, and other supposedly joyful things all get the Grumpy Cat treatment.

That mockery of forced positivity is where most of the humor lands. Instead of encouraging readers to embrace happiness, possibility, and personal growth, the book leans into irritation, cynicism, and refusal with complete commitment.

The photographs and short bits of commentary make it easy to browse, and it works best as a light, pick-up-and-read-a-few-pages-at-a-time book rather than anything deeper.

A funny little book for Grumpy Cat fans and anyone who occasionally needs a break from relentlessly upbeat advice.

[Elvin]

No. A bit repetitive, lacking creativity. The other Grumpy Cat book at least had more wit. This is just a series of no's to a bunch of things. And this cat taking pleasure in people's misery bugged me this time. No so much the last book, but here it did. Probably because the repetition got tiresome. Thank goodness I read this for free. No way would I have spent any money on this.

The imagery and graphic design are fine, but nothing special. It's fitting for the material.

It's a short book, so it's a very quick read. If you end up not liking this, at least it will not have taken a lot of time out of your day. But it's brief entertainment if you're interested in some cynical humor.

[Benedict]

A friend saw this and it "made them think of me", so I promptly received it as a gift.

(This is the same friend who has also got me Grumpy Cat socks, Grumpy Cat pyjamas, and a Grumpy Cat plushie. They know me so well.)

It's a short silly picture book comprised of double-page spreads of Grumpy Cat's disapproving face, objecting to a variety of topics and pursuits with various "No" based puns and wordplay.

It took me literally five minutes to read. It's just pictures of Grumpy Cat. Cute.

[Peacegal]

Grumpy Cat introduces us to stock photos of various appealing things and situations, and briefly explains why she hates them. Grumpy Cat's grouchy face is always humorous, but this one just feels like a quickie cash-in. I am glad for Photoshop so no actual cats were put in uncomfortable or frightening situations for the camera.

[dela :)]

This book describes me as a person. Which is why I love Grumpy Cat. (rip -sNiFf SnIfF-)

Legit, I hate everything and everyone on this whole universe. And she (yes, Grumpy Cat was a she) feels the same. It's like myself in cat form.

Oh, and those stickers? Yea, I'll just casually put them all on my brother.

[Sirah]

Explore the world of all the things Grumpy Cat does not like and learn to say no to all of them. Even if you thought you might like some of these things, saying no is best.

This fast-paced book features a variety of Grumpy Cat pictures and a lot of satisfying ways to say no. It's a meme that deserves to keep going.

[Lauren]

I love Grumpy Cat! The early bird does… get annoying quickly! etc.—but his books are never as good as his memes. Plus, I don’t feel like Grumpy Cat is actually as grumpy as he is made to seem. I’m unconvinced! I do consider Grumpy Cat a self help guru, in a roundabout way. Sometimes it’s good to say no to things and set boundaries.

[Mayda]

Grumpy cat teaches you the value of the word “no.” With inspirational and imaginative pictures of this adorable cat, you can emulate this cat and improve your life. In its pages, you will find everything you need to “no.” Yes, read this book. That’s the only yes you will see - there aren’t any in the book.

[Kathleen]

Have I read this one before? I think so, but it's still funny. If you're looking for an excuse or encouragement to avoid something you find unpleasant, Grumpy Cat has your go-to answer for everything: Just say "NO!"
"I read a book once. It was....not that bad, actually."

[Michelle (MichellesBookishLife)]

Grumpy Cat loves the word no as well as all negative things. She wants to tell everyone about her least favorite things, and how to say no to everything. She is on a mission to let the world know how much she loves the word “no.”
