Editorial Reviews

2023-04-24
Arranged into quests, pathways, and games, a series of “would you rather” scenarios will entertain a wide swath of readers.

While some of the questions are listed thematically (“Odd Bods,” “All Grown Up”), the text is also broken up by an interactive “choose your own adventure”–style treasure hunt through the book, board game–type paths to follow, and flowchart exercises. The nonlinear nature of the book makes it great for browsing or jumping around. Some questions offer opportunities for internal reflection and deeper conversations (such as whether readers would prefer working a job they hate for lots of money or one they love for free), while many are silly and nonsensical (superhuman strength or X-ray vision? A nose that always runs or a butt that always itches?). Though there’s plenty of potty humor and gross-out gags that will make adults groan, hilarious illustrations add a lot of visual interest. This will be a huge hit with readers of joke books and an excellent pick for spur-of-the-moment conversation starters with young people. The drawings depict characters who are diverse in terms of age and race. Beware of a handful of potentially body-shaming scenarios.

Will provide much entertainment for young readers and their grown-ups. (Activity book. 8-12)
