Mommy and Daddy Are Always Supposed to Say Yes ... Aren't They?

I couldn't believe that they captured my 3 year old daughters bad behavior so perfectly... "I don't want pancakes, or french toast, I want waffles, NOW!" We have always read alot of books to her and I have been searching for books to read at bedtime that have a message. I like ones that we can talk about while I'm reading the book. This book is perfect for interaction. The parents guide is concise and full of great information. I've read other child centered books and one major thing I like about the parents guide is that it focuses on key points without being repetitive. I don't want to be misleading the parents guide is 14 pages and the story really is the major focus. Art work in the book is nice. It effectively captures the action and gets the attention of the pre-schooler. I can't wait to get the second in the series.

My 4 Year old daughter likes when I read her this book. And it has some educational information for parents too and it has actually given Me some good insight and ideas when it comes to raising her

This does a great job of presenting concepts for how and why to tell your child "no". I just wish the author sometimes wrote her books recognizing that a family might consist of some structure other than a "mommy and daddy". In this era, I appreciate when authors use various parenting structures as examples instead of defaulting to traditional 2-parent mom/dad families.
