Don't Be Afraid to Say No!
by Ilona Lammertink
Age: Kindergarten-1st grade
Very didactic and straightforward, but sometimes children need that. It has a cute twist when Jill tells her mother about her problem. Her mother explains that Jill has actually been saying "no" to herself all this time, without even realizing it. So, saying no to her friends should be easier with all that unintentional practice. I'm having a terrible time explaining it but the author does a much better job. Other than that twist, the rest of the story is quite choppy with Jill having no real personality outside of her purpose to instruct readers on how to say "no."
