No. The answer is just, �No, it isn �t. � �This � is emphatic in this situation. You could go on to say, �but this is. � or �this one is �. |

You can answer the question in two ways: either you say: "No, it isn �t." or "No, this book isn �t blue."

My suggestion:
Short answers: Yes, it is. / No, it isn �t.
Full answers: Yes, that book is blue. / No, that book isn �t blue.
