Would You Rather… Book Review
This delightful picture book by John Burningham follows a flame haired girl as she asks questions such as, would you rather your house was surrounded by water, snow or a jungle?
Would you rather an elephant drank your bath water, an eagle stole your dinner, a pig tried on your clothes or a hippo slept in your bed?
Each page has just a few words on which is great for young readers and there’s a picture on each page too to accompany the storyline.
The pictures really help to bring the questions asked to life.

I really like this book because it opens up a fun discussion with children. You could just read the book from beginning to end which is what I did first time around, but the second time around as I asked each question our girls were answering them and some of the answers they gave were pretty funny!
This book is a lovely book that I would definitely recommend!

This sounds like a great book – I love how interactive the questions are and it's great to get them thinking during story time. I will definitely be hunting this one out when Taylor gets a little older. Thanks so much for sharing with #KCACOLS. Hope to see you again next Sunday! x
