No Again? - Brenda Novak - Bog

In No, Again? Harry is met with one "no" after another. But when he comes to understand that "no" is what saved him from being hurt, getting sick, breaking something in the house and falling behind on his schoolwork, he learns that "no" might not be the bad word he assumed it was. And when he uses it to get his dog out of the street, he realizes how important the lesson he's learned truly is.
