Description
Una historia divertida, llena de trabalenguas, sobre la importancia de decir «no» cuando algo no nos apetece. El señor Sí podía hacer un montón de cosas diferentes y divertidas. Podía fabricar elefantes de papel que movían la trompa, conocía el truco para atravesar globos con agujas de punto sin reventarlos, pero lo que nunca había aprendido era a decir no. Si al señor Sí le ofrecían helado de caca de colibrí y baba de babosa, él se lo comía entero, ¡y eso que no le gustaba nada! Cuando un vendedor le pidió que le comprase una raqueta sin cuerdas, él se quería negar, pero la palabra «no» no salía de sus labios. ¡Y eso que ese chisme no sirve para nada! El señor Sí estaba muy enfadado consigo mismo porque no paraba de hacer cosas que no le apetecían, simplemente por no saber decir «NO!». hasta que un día un hecho inesperado le obliga a cerrar la boca...¿Y tú, lector, respondes con un «sí» cuando hubieses querido decir «no»? Una divertida historia para todas las edades, sobre la importancia de la comunicación y la asertividad.

K-Gr 2--Mister Yes has a talent for many things. He is undefeated at checkers, can build skyscrapers using soda cans, and fire off tricky tongue twisters with ease. But when it comes to saying "no," Mr. Yes struggles. A series of ill-intentioned characters persuade Mr. Yes to participate in unfavorable activities and leave him increasingly frustrated with his inability to refuse--until one day, when a serendipitous encounter with a fly allows Mr. Yes to stutter out a "no." To his surprise, his refusal is accepted. Although the scenarios depicted are hyperbolic and sometimes without context, such as when he is offered "ice cream made of hummingbird poop and slug slime" from a stranger, the story provides excellent talking points. Most notably, Mr. Yes never actually says "yes" to the offers he receives. When he finally does say "no" he learns that it reinforces his ability to consent, only when he truly wants to, an empowering and valuable lesson for readers. Also striking is the anger Mr. Yes feels toward himself after each instance in which he does not decline. Although his sentiments are jarring ("I can't stand you," he says to himself in the mirror), it is a candid depiction of the effect the character's lack of assertiveness has on his self-esteem. VERDICT Full-page illustrations evocative of surrealist art make this a visually unique picture book and an effective conversation starter about personal boundaries. --Jessica Agudelo, New York Public Library

Daniel Montero Galán (Madrid, 1981) was born prematurely, at the early age of zero. His head was always full of birds. As time went by, they reproduced, and along came a lot of different kinds of creatures, making a great noise--squawks, grunts and screams... so he decided to transfer them into paper to silence them. He keeps a deal with his drawings: they live thanks to him and he lives from them. Because of this symbiosis, more than thirty illustrated books behind him stand up for him to testify that his thing in life is drawing. Day by day, and every other night, he continues to perfect spiral and rectilinear shapes to keep fit without losing shape. Watercolor fights a great battle with the marker to have a leading role on its cardboard.
