We absolutely loved going through this one as a family. All of us got a kick out of hearing the answers and reasoning for said answers. Deff recommend.

This Would You Rather book has some fantastic questions! I am an elementary school speech therapist, and I use these questions with my students as ice breakers, but also to work on sounds in conversation. These will be a hit when I return to school in August!

My kids absolutely loves this book! It was funny and gross which is right up the alley for two boys seven and ten.

This book is a hit with kids who love a mix of humor and just the right amount of "eww!" factor. My children read it alongside their cousins (ages 8 to 14), and it was an absolute joy listening to their reactions. Their conversation was filled with laughter, shock, and surprisingly thoughtful discussion about some of the more outrageous moments.
What makes this book special is its replay value—it's the kind of read that kids will want to revisit with different groups, whether it's family gatherings or car rides to practice with friends. Each new reading brings fresh reactions and conversations, making it a fantastic choice for kids who enjoy books that are both entertaining and interactive. If you're looking for something fun, delightfully disgusting, and sure to get kids talking, this one is a must-have!

So much fun! My 10 year old boy actually engaged with us- put his tablet down, and we all giggled and had a great time. He already demanded a print copy! Definitely a winner!

Thanks NetGalley for this arc, and the opportunity to be cool to my pre-teen!

My daughter loved this. She’s been so hooked on Would You Rather questions lately. Of course, the gross ones are even better 🤣. She would have preferred there been pictures to go with the choices but overall, a silly and fun read. Thank you NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

My kids love reading the Would You Rather? books!
It’s such a fun and different way for them to engage.
And I actually enjoy jumping in on the fun as well.

WE keep a pad of WOULD YOU RATHER in every vehicle and I carry one in my purse. These are the ultimate tool to turn a bored group of children into a smiling, laughing group. I have yet to find a child who did not love them or a parent who did not appreciate seeing their children engaged within a group activity. No couch potatoes here!!!

I had a blast reading this with my 12 year old and his baby sister. She is only 3 so she didn't really understand a lot of what she was answering, just that they seemed weird and funny. Some of the prompts are very silly and others are nasty but they all lead to some serious laughs and an overall good time with family.

My nephew is a bit of a reluctant reader and I'm always looking for books to get him interested. Maybe because he's in the youtube short generation, but it can be a little challenging to get him to read longer stories.

This book was kind of perfect. I sat down with him, figuring we could alternate asking each other questions, but he was so invested that he just read every question to me. It was a lot of fun for both of us. Not only did he read, but he shared random stories and we discussed the logistics for each one. It was very engaging. Also, another huge plus is that I don't have to google to come up with ideas like I usually do when we play this game.

As for the questions themselves, they range from "oh, I'd rather wish for death than having to select from those two choices." to "actually, I'd try that willingly". I'm looking at you, pickle milkshake. I'm legitimately curious.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. This was a lot of fun.

Though the questions are really gross I can see the appeal for children.This also opens up conversations and asking why certain answers are picked. You and your family will laugh a lot and even make up your own would you rather questions. Lots of fun for the whole family.

My sons, ages 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 love bathroom humor, and this series of books is right up their alley. They love to think of the silliest scenarios, and laugh together. I highly recommend this series for anyone who doesn't mind their kids reading a little gross, bathroom humor. There are scenarios that might cause someone with a sensitivity to food spoilage or gross imagery to gag, and some things might be less appropriate than others. Kids will love this!

Kids will love this. Super gross but fun. Got pretty repetitive quickly and some questions didn't really make sense. Overall a fun way to spend 30 mins!

This book was a fun and hilarious time! Kids will love this book and will giggle through the whole thing. I can’t wait to share this with my child.

This book is GREAT for getting conversation flowing! It would be something ideal to bring on a car ride to ask your spouse & kids questions to see how funny everyone’s answers are and to hear their reasoning. The layout of the book is clear and simple so it would be just as fun for the kids to be the ones to ask the car’s occupants the “Would You Rather” questions as well.

Consider this book as one creative way to get to know your kids even better as well as a chance for some fun family bonding.

Thank you to Penguin Random House for the opportunity to review this ARC copy!

My five year old son loves asking me would you rather questions! This book was a huge hit with him! The grosser the question the better in his opinion. This book had my son and I both laughing. It also made for a great opportunity to discuss why we picked the things we did! If you know a kiddo who loves gross things, then I definitely think they’ll enjoy this book!
