Fueled by the only word she knows—NO!—Baby is learning how to talk while stirring chaos through the entire family. This hilarious follow-up to The Baby Who Stayed Awake Forever is the perfect baby shower gift for parents and older siblings of bossy babies and temperamental toddlers.

Breakfast? NO! Sharing? NO! Clean diaper? NO! Baby is a good talker but she only knows ONE word, and she's going to use it—a lot! 

But when Baby is asked a very special question—"Do you need a kiss?"—it's finally time to learn a new word: YES. 

Celebrate the joys and challenges of toddlerhood and independence with this funny and heartwarming picture book. Parents and older siblings will love laughing along together as they try to get their own ferociously fussy little one to say anything . . . anything . . . but NO!
