Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Anne Rockwell usually turns out nice work, but I was disappointed in "No! No! No!" Although the text displays her usual empathy with young children--it's all about a little boy's really, really bad day and what his mom does to help make things better--the illustrations are most disappointing. The colors are strong and cheerful, but the composition and overall artistic expertise shown via these pictures is really just flat-out bad. They are not crude and charming in the way that some children's books pictures can be--that is, in the way that a technically proficient artist will show his or her ability to illustrate well while still maintaining a childlike quality to the work. No, these are just below-average pictures. It's too bad, because the text really works very well.

A wise mother knows how to turn a very bad day, full of rain, spills, and falls, into a cozy night in a charming picture book full of comfort, warmth, and cheer.
