What is "No!" Said Joe about?

Joe has made up his mind: absolutely no! He refuses to go shopping with his parents, no matter how nicely they ask. They suggest all sorts of exciting alternatives, from visiting a wicked witch to going on an adventure, but Joe's answer never changes. With lively illustrations and a playful sense of humour, this charming picture book captures a young child's determination, independence and delight in saying no—even when the grown-ups around him try their very best to change his mind.
