Illustrated Would You Rather? : Jokes and Game Book for Children 5-11( Silly Kids and Family Scenarios, 1
Written and Illustrated by Dr. Shh
Book is part of a series. This one features jokes and games for elementary and early middle grade students.
I love interactive choice books because they encourage children to do critical thinking while they make choices. The first part of the book presents crazy scenarios, the second crazy questions. Each section is richly illustrated with black and white images. Readers are urged NOT to look at the answers provided ahead of time. As a bonus, the author includes references for the curious reader who wants to go into any of the topics in greater detail.
An excellent choice for readers age six through twelve as well as the reluctant reader.
