"Accepting NO". This book is about a dog that was never taught how to live in a house with a family. He was left to live on his own and was never told "yes" or "no". When he came to live with a family, he was lost and did not know the rules. His new owner taught him the rules by teaching him "yes" and "no". Children also need to be taught "yes" and "no". In this book Doggie's owner did not just tell him "no" and then offer a punishment, His owner showed the dog the correct behavior so he could learn to do the right thing. This same principle applies to children. Explore the concept of "accepting no" in this book.
