5.0 out of 5 stars Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog?, December 3, 2003

This review is from: Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog? (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loads of Silly Fun, April 2, 2009

By	Tiffany Partin "Worshipgirl" (Baytown, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
