NO!

40 pp. | Roaring Brook | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-288-8 $16.95
(3) K-3 Fed up with the bullying and inhumanity he witnesses as he walks to mail a letter, a young boy fights back with the single word, "NO." Returning home, he sees soldiers handing out presents, tanks pulling plows, and planes dropping not bombs but bicycles. McPhail's emotion- and narrative-filled watercolors unfold expertly to tell this powerful (if didactic) anti-war story.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
