(Sandy Creek Edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e by William Steig. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781435116719.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Barnes \u0026amp; Noble ReviewShrek creator William Steig collaborates with illustrator Harry Bliss on an amusing, thoughtful book that explores one of lifes most penetrating queries. What would you rather be -- a stick or a stone? A snake or a crocodile? A rabbit magician asks these shape-shifting questions while conjuring up some startling surprises.Sitting in front of a black top hat, a boy and girl gaze in wonderment while a wand-waving hare whips up objects, people, animals, and types of weather -- all exhibits for his pressing inquiry. Other questions include whether youd choose to be a boy or a girl, a mouse or an elephant, a moon or a sun; and at the end, the kids (who only speak a few times) are asked to think about whether theyd prefer being alone or together.With cartoonlike illustrations set against a stark white background, Steig and Blisss book is sure to get kids wheels turning. Steigs comparison game is thought-provoking and inspired, while Blisss artwork offers a blissful dose of imagination with a hint of surrealism. An excellent springboard for other imaginative games, Which Would You Rather Be? offers a fun respite from bad-weather weekends, lackluster storytimes, or ho-hum car trips.
