I went through the questions with my almost 7-year-old, very adhd son. Pro-tip: Would you rather books can stop a meltdown in its tracks. He's very reflective and took some time to answer some of the questions. Some he refused to answer, and some he answered with an "are you a complete idiot?" tone of voice. I told him I would rather pick up horse poop with my feet because I don't want anything like that to touch my feet. I felt that the gross factor was comparable between horse poop and elephant poop. Until he pointed out that elephant poop is much bigger. Which I felt was a valid point. This is not the kind of book that most adults would appreciate, but I do recommend it if you're looking to connect with a child.

These grossed me out (that's a compliment!) but my six year old is obsessed. This is a great conversation starter, bell ringer for teachers, or fun book to banter about with your kids. I would recommend for any elementary aged reader. I could see many kids not only loving talking about the would you rather's but also reading them challenging other kids or adults about their opinions. This was simple fun. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

It is funny and it is gross! Perfect for a kid's birthday party gift --or a HILARIOUS sleepover conversation! A few of these choices even made my stomach turn, Al I loved these books! Innovative and eye-rolling at the same time. :)

A book that wants to be as laughably, ridiculously child-friendly gross as it can, but that seems to accidentally turn out to be quite educational – as long as a passing adult can join in. Take the first section, asking us which of two things we'd rather eat, this unlikely thing, or that unlikely thing? Well, the adult can educate on at least three things from these pages alone, one of them being of course what we should not be eating out of these options (hello, soap). Also, when both options are unlikely but one is a combination nobody sane has actually tried before, we can at least point out the safety of that – hence there is a logical conclusion to make. And when it says would you rather eat "a spoonful of pepper, or raw egg?" you can bring geography into things, and point out how the latter is still an option for some French people, if not in many other places around the world.

And so it goes on – "would you rather touch rotten food or smell it?" can of course be a hygiene lesson, for one. And I know that that applies to so many books – they could be better and more informative if an adult came free to walk you through them and tell you more, but none have given me that sense as strongly as this did here – and certainly not where it's despite (or is it because of?) it wanting to appear so naughty. OK, some of this is irredeemably silly (clown excreta, for one), and much of it is just grammatically weak, but this is a decent – if quickly browsed – selection of daffy quandaries. Just don't try much of it at home.

My kids loved this edition of would you rather. You have filled them with endless questions and I love how it's connected us even more with these silly questions.

My 8 and 10 year old boys thought this book was hysterical. There are not many visuals within the book, but as an ebook it works great to keep a kid entertained for a few minutes. My boys found it funny to read while waiting at the barber shop. I am a speech-language pathologist with children in grades K-12. I think it would be fun to pull this out as a conversation starter or an end-of-session "free time". It has way more pages than I expected, and you could definitely get good use out of it for a variety of purposes, if you spread reading the questions out throughout the year. I would recommend it as a great book to add some silly time to a long car trip as well. I would have liked some added visuals or an interactive element on the ebook version.

Thank you to Zeitgeist and Penguin Random House for the advanced reader copy.

I was excited to read this book because it looked like a good book to add to my classroom library. I love "Would You Rather" questions and do them often in my classroom. It opens up some great discussion and helps build relationships. This book is organized by topic - food, animals, senses, disgusting, and eww. These are definitely icky like, "Would you rather eat a cookie that fell in cat vomit or mouse poop?" There are some pretty good ones in this book that would keep your child entertained for hours. If you think farts, poop, and gross things are funny - this is the book for you!

With over 200 hilariously gross scenarios, this book sparks giggles. Whether it's during family game nights, car trips, or even during bath time. This fun book encourages kids ages 5-8 to think outside the box and develop what is right and wrong, and have fun doing it. It's a fantastic way to bond with your kids. My kids loved this book It's guaranteed to entertain you. Thank you to Zeitgeist and NetGalley for this Advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

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.

I received a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you for this opportunity, I hope we can work together again soon.

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.
