Summary from Little Tiger Press

Archie was adorable. Everybody said so. Until one day he learned a new word… "No!"
 

Archie says "No!" at mealtimes, bath times, and every single bedtime... A hilarious tale that's perfect for parents whose toddler may be over-using the word "No!" and finding themselves suddenly tackling tantrums

Nayuleska's thoughts 

As someone without children, I find it amusing at how often the cute Archie says no, and how others both look at and react to him. I guess it is the best way for him to learn what it truly means to say no.
