A simple and cute picture book for kids that shows me that I'm NOT such a stick in the mud, after all.

Odd, that.

And my kid goes, "Hey, daddy, YOU'VE challenged me with most of these on your own!"

Life is weird. Do people really say no to their kids that often?2021-shelf ya26 s Kathryn4,487

Why is it that some of AKR's books are perfection to me, while others merely meander along pleasantly but without any pizazz :-( I think the concept of "Yes Day!" is great--a day when the kid gets the answer of "Yes" to all his desires (wouldn't we all love one of those!?) Some of the illustrations are cute, but the story is pretty predictable and nothing really special in the writing:

"Can I have ice cream?"
(we see him getting ice cream)
"Can I eat lunch outside?"
(we see him eating lunch by his treehouse)

If you do get this, be sure to check out the illustrations on the inside cover--a calendar with all the OTHER days in the year when parents have answers other than "Yes"--too funny! ;->childrens-picture-books3 s Michele Knott3,795 181

Who doesn't want a day where the answer to every question is "yes"! Pizza for breakfast? Clean the room tomorrow? Food fight? Yes, yes, yes! Kids will seeing the crazy requests he comes up with. My favorite? On the front and back inside cover are all of the ways to say "no" - "no way, jose day", "two thumbs down day", "not gonna happen day"!
What would you ask for on your "yes" day?

I am so tempted to drop this onto my fantasy shelf, because as I read this to my nephew it was clear that this sort of day would absolutely be a child's fantasy! His eyes lit up, and he was grinning a fool from cover to cover.

The end papers were clever, too; a calendar in which every day is some form of "no day," until the final day of the month when it's Yes Day. We read each of the "no day" notations on the calendar, and when we finished my niece said, "Man. That is one bad month." childrens reviewed3 s Mary750 5

I think every kid deserves a "yes" day at least once a year. Within reason, of course. I don't think I could say yes to "can I drive your car?". I might even give myself a yes day! Donuts for lunch? Yes! Two hour nap? Yes! Spend the day in my pajamas? Yes!childrens-picture-books narrative-skills print-motivation3 s Viviane ElbeeAuthor 2 books55

The kids loved this one and immediately requested Yes days for themselves.
It's a very quick and fun read, for toddlers and up.

A little boy enjoys "Yes Day" in this exuberant picture-book romp from author Amy Krouse Rosenthal and illustrator Tom Lichtenheld. On this day, every request the boy makes, from eating pizza for breakfast to staying up late, is met with a resounding "yes" from his parents. It's the best day of the year...!

This author/illustrator team has created quite a few engaging picture-books, from The OK Book to Duck! Rabbit! , and Yes Day! is another one to add to the list. An exploration of a common childhood fantasy - namely, being allowed to do whatever one s - it is quite entertaining, pairing a humorous back-and-forth text with amusing cartoon-style illustrations. Recommended to young children who dream of having a "yes day" of their own, and to anyone looking for picture-books featuring themes that kids themselves would probably approve.picture-books2 s Sarah Krajewski1,079

Can’t believe I missed a book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal! Found it because it of the Netflix movie. 2 s Sarah1,030 52

Imagine a day when every answer is "yes" - a child's dream come true! The illustrations in this are fun, and the timing of showing the results after a page turn add drama. The boy asks mother, "Can I please [love the manners] have pizza for breakfast?" *page turn* to picture of boy eating pizza! Kids loved this one and we had fun sharing what we'd ask for if we had a "yes day". Many students asked for expensive items, but we could refer back to the story and see that the things the boy wanted were really small treats and time with friends and family: a friend for supper, eating lunch outside, choosing his own breakfast cereal. When we really thought about it, students were able to come up with some more realistic ideas. kidlit picture-books2 s DollyAuthor 1 book659

Our girls loved this book and to a certain extent, so did I. Children hear "no" all day every day, and for one day of their lives, it would be nice to hear "yes" all day long. They have already asked to have one of their very own and I will try to accommodate. I Mary K's idea - perhaps I'll have take a "yes" day of my very own! The book has fun illustrations and we loved the endpapers.2010 childrens2 s Heather986

My kids loved this book! One of our favorite parts is the selection of cereal he puts in the cart: "with one whole oat in each serving!" etc. Now my son wants a yes day -- which could be a dangerous thing! At the very least, we would have to specify a budget. . .

I really do hate having to say no so often as a mom. It would be a refreshing change to be able to say yes more often!2 s Amanda2,325 10

As a parent, I think the best/funniest part of this book are the endpages which show a calendar of all the ways parents say "no". The story itself is simple about having one day a year when the answer is always yes. More precocious children may make this a dangerous read!2010-library-summer-reading kid-s-books2 s DonalynAuthor 10 books5,966

In a world filled with "Maybe, later" and "Go ask your Mom" doesn't every kid wish for a Yes-filled day? A great pairing between Rosenthal and Lichtenheld. Be prepared for your own Ues Day before reading it.primary-picture-books2 s Nancy Jo Lambert1,070 111

I really d this book and so did my son. However, the problem with this book, is that now my 4 year old thinks we need to have a YES day. Oh brother!

Really fun and highly entertaining.2 s HamAuthor 1 book43

Great illustrations.
It's a very short, simple book, but I loved the concept.
It made me want to have a yes day with my kids. (I'll have to save up.)childrens-books picture-book read-with-kids2 s Sara Grochowski1,142 602

A cute fun book written from a kid's perspective about a day when the answer to every one of his requests is yes!1 Gina529

What is this joyous, positive holiday I have never heard of?! This needs to be a real day. I'm picking a day and celebrating it every year.1 Shelli5,063 51

What kid wouldn’t want a Yes Day!? A day when your every request is answered with a yes. Pizza for breakfast?? Why of course! Ice Cream BEFORE dinner? Absolutely! I’m sure having an annual fantast event “Yes Day” would make any child take notice of the calendar. Will I mark a “yes day” on my calendar…. probably not. Putting it on the calendar for my daughter would be taking the unbreakable vow in the realm of Harry Potter, but I may surprise her with a “yes day” every once in a blue moon. picture-books1 Erika Tortorice68 2

I loved this concept picturebook. The illustrations shows a calendar with wording for what each day of the week means for a whole month. It happens to be yes day and the author goes on about what this entails. My daughter had actually had gotten this book from her school library and went on about how she was going to make-up different concepts for the days of the week. It had great illustrations to go along with the storyline. 1 Rosa Cline3,327 41

The little boy in the book calls his birthday his 'yes day' simply because everything he asks to do or have he is allowed to do (but not in a spoiled way) he looks forward to 'tomorrow being yes day' and the story follows him throughout his special day. A very cute way of describing what a celebration of a birthday should be, without the party and gift giving just spending special time and making a person feel special.birthday kids1 J-Lynn Van Pelt593 27

A cute premise--one day out of the year, a cute litle red headed boy gets an entire day of yes answers. He takes advantage of this day by asking for pizza for breakfast, to pick whatever he wants at the grocery store, and have a family food fight, among other things. No matter what he asks, his parents say, "Yes!" A really fun day.picture-books1 Angela Moorer99 Read

Everybody (especially kids) live for the day when they dont have to hear the word "no". In this book, the author shows the excitement that follows every question on a yes day! Kids love this book and probably will even try to ask some of the same questions. This is a fun read aloud all kids can enjoy.pleasure-reads1 Brandy Locchetta52 1 followerRead

This book begs the question "what would it be if the answer to every question was YES?!". This would be great for using imaginary prompts to force prediction, imagination, etc. This would also be a great resource to begin the conversation about classroom rules and why it is important to say "no" sometimes and ask the question "what would happen if your teacher always said yes?".imagination rules-guidelines1 Astrid110 7

Loved the concept and way it was developed. A neat version of the idea of yourself saying "yes" to all opportunities and things to do. I did that last summer and what a wonderful and magical summer it was. In this story the child gets to have the answer of "yes" to all his requests for a day - what neat things he got to do!children-s1 Julee348 68

Terrific read-aloud book for library or home reading. what kid wouldn't LOVE the opportunity to have a YES day? Once a year the boy in the story gets a YES day from his family. Yes, to ice cream! Yes, to food fights and staying up late! WARNING: after reading this to my library students, they went home and tried (some successfully) to convince their parents to give them a YES day!1 Jazmyne Henry73 1 follower

This book is everyone's biggest dream! And that is to have day where the answer is Yes no matter what the request is! This books is a fun and easy read the captures the attention of little children that are used to hearing, " No." After reading this book you can have children discuss what their biggest desires are.rhyme-and-repetition1 Cecoiya Johnson58 1 follower

I read this book to a 1st grade class and they absolutely loved it. It was very interactive and fun for all of us. The students were eager to particpate and share their opinions about what they thought, which was really good. Although the book was simple, it started great conversation and the students were able to relate to the character effortlessly!bedtime-story growing-up imagination ...more1 Stacy70 3
