Children in grades K-6 can read along and listen to the author's lively rendition of RJ's social skill story on the accompanying CD. One track features the text only while a second track includes cues on when to turn the page for beginning readers of English language learners.
"No" is RJ's least favourite word... and he tries his best to convince his dad, his mom, and his teacher to turn "No" into "Maybe" or "We'll see" or "Later" or "I'll think about it." Even though he doesn't have much success, RJ keeps arguing until his teacher suggests that he try to join her classroom's Say YES to NO Club. If RJ can learn how to accept "No" for an answer and to disagree appropriately with his teacher and parents, he can add his name to the clug's Star Board. RJ finds that lots of praise and some rewards come his way when he uses these skills the right way!
This book is the second in Julia Cook's BEST ME I Can Be! series which teaches children in grades K-6 social skills that can make home life happier and school more successful.
