What is I Just Don't Like the Sound of No! about?
RJ really dislikes hearing the word “no”. Whether he is talking with his parents or teacher, he keeps arguing, pleading and trying to turn “no” into “maybe”. When his teacher invites him to join the Say YES to NO Club, RJ learns that accepting an answer calmly and disagreeing respectfully can prevent arguments and earn positive recognition. With humour, rhymes and familiar situations, this story helps children practise managing frustration, listening to others and using polite, appropriate ways to express disagreement.
