Once Otto learns the word "no," he constantly uses it in little power struggles with his parents. When this approach backfires at school, Otto learns that a little "yes" can make everything better. The simple story about this inevitable phase of toddlerhood will resonate with parents and little naysayers alike. Sweet illustrations peppered with Otto's one-word exclamations capture his emotional highs and lows.
