No! Never!

A lovely, lively look at the Terrible Twos (or Threes, or Fours, or Fives...) from mother-daughter team Libby Hathorn and Lisa Hathorn-Jarman, with debut illustrator Mel Pearce.

No! Never! is a book for every parent dealing with tantrums, defiant behaviour or communication issues.

There was a child,
The sweetest ever,
Until she learned these words:
'NO! NEVER!'

Georgie is a sweet little girl who always makes her parents happy…until she discovers one powerful phrase: No! Never!

It suddenly becomes her answer to every request, from tidying up her toys to going to bed. Her parents are at their wits end, but what happens when they decide to try saying No! Never! themselves?

No! Never! is a cautionary tale about a little girl who drives her parents up the wall when she starts answering 'No! Never!' to all their requests – and what happens when the tables are turned on her.
