In a hilarious interactive picture book, the Geisel Award–winning creators of See the Cat challenge kids to answer every question with “NO”—even when their brain keeps insisting “YES.”

Can you beat Mr. Fox at his Game of No? The rules are simple: every time he asks a question, you must respond with “NO.” If you accidentally say “YES,” then it’s back to the beginning of the book for you, where you must start all over again. Are you ready? (Oops!) Do you live on planet Earth? Are you stronger than a baby? What does Y-E-S spell? (Argh!) Kids will giggle uncontrollably as they gamely aim to avoid Mr. Fox’s clever traps—but just ask them if they’d like to read this book again, and they won’t be able to resist: “YES!”
  • SELECTION | 2024
    Junior Library Guild Selection
LaRochelle and Wohnoutka, the brilliantly witty writer and illustrator whose book <i>See the Cat: Three Stories about a Dog</i> won the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, take kids on a vicarious adventure of sneaky questions designed to trip up and amuse listeners in equal measure. . . . A clever, hilarious picture book!
—Booklist (starred review)

LaRochelle delightfully upends expectations in this tribute to the power of no. . . . A laugh-out-loud marvel of excess and pacing. . . . There’s no penalty for rereading this hilarious, irresistible book—perhaps readers will out-manipulate Mr. Fox after all! You can bet on this sideshow for an interactive good time.
—Kirkus Reviews
Does David LaRochelle ever get tired of making books for young people? No! He can’t think of a better profession in the world! He is the author of Isle of You, illustrated by Jaime Kim, as well as How to Apologize, Go and Get with Rex, and the See the Cat series, all illustrated by his good friend Mike Wohnoutka. Does he live in a houseboat on the Mississippi River? No! A tree house in Australia? No! A tiny space station on Jupiter? No! He lives in a condominium in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Is Mike Wohnoutka an All-Pro linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys? No! He’s an award-winning author and illustrator from Minneapolis. He has illustrated more than thirty books for young readers, including How to Apologize, Go and Get with Rex, and the Geisel Award–winning See the Cat and its sequels, all written by his good friend David LaRochelle. He is also the author and illustrator of Ups and Downs: A Book of Emotions, and other picture books. Does he enjoy golfing in the snow? No! Swimming with alligators? No! Wrestling tigers? No! But he does love playing tennis with his family.
