This is a great book for 8-12 year olds and even adults! This would be fun for classrooms as well as family game nights, road trips, and parties. This is the animal edition and I will definitely look for more in this series.
A fun little book that would be great to play during a game night. Used some of the prompts in my class to start discussion between my students. They absolutely loved it and we had some great discussions.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for this arc!
A cute quick this or that question book related to animals. Super short and quick for kids but I also enjoyed the quick would you rathers as well lol. Only 27 pages so don't be expecting more like I was for some reason.
This book goes beyond the “Would You Rather” books that I’ve seen so far. I anticipate my students having engaging conversations while answering what they would rather do. This book has some excellent academic vocabulary that will go well with animal anatomy lessons. Also, kids that have fun learning about animals will love this book.
My kids (12, 10, and 6) and I loved this book! We didn’t play it as a game so much as use it as just fun conversation starters at dinner and bedtime.
We were lucky to get an advance copy, but I would highly recommend purchasing it to anyone with kiddos for some giggly discussions!
So much fun! My husband and I enjoyed it just as much as our kids did! I never thought to make would you rather into a game and I give the author a ton of props for that! I can’t wait to check out the other editions.
I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this book completely out of curiosity. I find the concept interesting and potentially fun, but I'm not quite sure that a book is the best format for this. The idea seems a lot like some kind of a board game, and using flash cards might be easier and more random, than having to flip through the pages of a book. I'm not entirely sold by the execution, but the idea is nice to keep kids entertained away from screens.
This book offers such great and unique 'would you rather' questions, but the game concept of it was lost to us. Definitely a fun book to have if you want questions on hand, but probably wouldn't purchase because of the emphasis on the game.
Thank you, Netgalley, for allowing me to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own
I love these books for road trips or, lately, for traffic on the way home from school. The child can practice reading while entertaining the vehicle. Listening to people work through their decision-making process and defending their opinions is very interesting
"Would You Rather: Animals Edition" is a total blast! This game book is packed with hilarious and crazy animal scenarios that will have you laughing out loud.
Imagine choosing between having a pet dinosaur or a talking cat! Or how about being able to understand animal languages but not human ones? The questions are totally ridiculous, but so much fun.
If you're looking for a game to play with friends or family, this one's a winner. It's a great way to have a good time and learn some cool stuff about animals too.
This was super adorable. What a fun game to play with kids. The pictures are fun. This would be a great family read
How cute!! This is a book full of "would you rather" questions that you can play as a game with your family. My kids LOVE these questions. I can certainly see us playing this together, but also just asking the questions during car rides and at the dinner table. Thank you NetGalley!
This book presents different Would-You-Rather-Questions in a variety of categories that all have to do with animals. As an EFL teacher I often start my lessons with some sort of icebreaker and loooove to do those questions. It gets the students talking in the foreign language and real discussions take place that engage even those who might not say much during regular lessons. Since it's not always easy to come up with more and more questions, I love having resources that I can use easily. Especially for younger students this will be fun, but I'm also somewhat intrigued to do this with my seniors to see the reasoning behind their answers :)
The only think I'd say is that the layout is somewhat strange and not always makes sense. I am reading this in the Netgalley App, so this might be totally different in any other format. It's only black and white though, and I think it would look nicer in color (especially for digital products).
I think you could easily hand sell this book. I think it would be a great book to take on a road trip! I found myself laughing out loud at some of the "would you rathers" and could see how kids, especially of the elementary school age would get a kick out of this! Highly recommend!
My husband and I sat down and read this book with our three kids, ages 11, 9, and 8, and had a great time. We ended up staying awake for almost an hour after bedtime because we didn't want to stop playing. The kids thought this book was hilarious, and it had us all giggling. I already looked into the other books in the set for future birthday gifts!
Parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and teachers - this book is wholesome, interactive, silly, and fun. It would make a great addition to any classroom, birthday gift, or family game night!
Thank you, NetGalley and Zeitgeist, for providing an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review. We had so much fun, and I can still hear my kids howling with laughter.
