You Gotta be Kidding!: The Wacky Book of Mind-Boggling Questions

By Randy Horn

Book Overview

Gross, embarrassing, and just plain silly questions about boogers, bugs, smelly socks, itchy scabs, and more
Adapted from the hugely popular board game, this interactive and completely engaging book serves up hundreds of bizarre, embarrassing, sometimes ethical and sometimes stomach-churning dilemmas that kids will love to pose to their friends and siblings, whether in the backseat, on a sleepover, at a party, on a rainy day, or during a lull in the lunchroom (if you dare).

Ponder the icky: Would you rather eat 10 pounds of cheese -OR- a bucket of peanut butter--with nothing to drink? The exponentially icky: Would you rather drink liquid found leaking from a garbage can -OR- chew on a hairy clump found between the cushions of an old couch? The fantastic: Would you rather be able to talk with all animals -OR- be able to understand all languages? The priority-testing: As a soccer player, would you rather mess up and score a goal for the other team but still have your team win -OR- play your best game ever even though your team loses? And the hair-raising: Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles -OR- spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live? Fascinating sidebars throughout are filled with interesting ancillary information--the nature of drool, left-handedness vs. right-handedness, what's dangerously filthy and what's just gross, why we blush when we're embarrassed--so kids can learn something as they laugh

Loads of fun, and definately GROSS.

I work as a counselor at a school. This book is a hit whenever & with whomever I read it too. Each page has a question, WOULD YOU RATHER..... then there are 2 choices. It's particularly fun in groups, to hear the different answers and reasoning. My only complaint is that I need to choose carefully which ones I read aloud. Many references to eating rotten food, living among rats, drinking sweat, ick! Some questions are too disgusting to discuss in a group and some may hit too close to home for the lower socioeconomic students. If you weed out the inappropriate ones for kids, the rest is a riot & fun for all. There's also fun facts at the bottom of each page. I would recommend this for ages 7-70. Well, maybe not for grandma.

kids loved it - ages 5-8

My son (6) and his friends beg me to read these to them. Fun hearing what they would choose. Good gift for all kids but especially boys.

Fun for Kids

I purchased this for my 10 year old for Christmas. He loves it! He and his friends are constantly asking one another made up 'would you rather' questions. Now, they have 400 more to ask. I really like the facts at the bottom of each page, without those, this book wouldn't be as much of a learning experience for kids. It really gets them thinking, talking, learning and laughing!
