Personal Response- This would be a great book to use at the begining of the school year to read as a read aloud to help students understand the purpose for rules. The teacher and students can create class rules together. I am a huge fan of David Shannon books. The pictures are humorous and remind me of my children were they were going through the "No" stage.
