About the Author

Dr. Seuss is quite simply the most beloved children’s book author of all time. His real name was Theodore Geisel. On books he wrote to be illustrated by others, he used the name Theo. LeSieg, which is Geisel spelled backwards.

Roy McKie is the illustrator of many books, among them In a People House, by Dr. Seuss writing as Theo. LeSieg. He lives in Flemington, New Jersey.

This review is from: Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog? (A Beginning Beginner Book) (Beginning Beginner Books) (Hardcover)

"Tell me! Would you rather be a dog... or a cat? It's time for you to think about important things like that." This is how the wonderful book Would you Rather be a Bullfrog starts off. Throughout the book the reader is questioned on what they would rather be, and a cat and dog is just the beginning. By the time you've finished reading the book you've been asked if `you'd rather have a feather or a bushy tail behind', whether you'd rather be a minnow or a whale, a hammer or a nail.

This story is told in rhyme, the standard for all Dr. Seuss books. The pictures are all bright and colorful, and the book is quite straightforward; it comes right out and asks you things, no beating around the bush for it! I think this is a wonderful book in part because it can be so much fun imagining which out of the options provided you'd rather be. Another thing that makes it a wonderful book is the special charm all Dr. Seuss books have.

This book is one my daughter enjoys reading over and over again. It asks silly questions about what you would rather be - a dog or a cat, a bullfrog or a butterfly, etc. Of course, complete with the Seussian rhyme and Roy McKie's great illustrations it's just a lot of fun.
