Mimi Says No
This book is simple and fun. Mimi expresses herself with a directness and strength that resonates with young readers. As they become more independent, toddlers enjoy exploring their environment and develop a more clearly defined sense of self. In many situations, they tend to insist on doing something themselves. "No" becomes their pet phrase. Satisfying this psychological need benefits both their mental and physical development.
