Could You? Would You?

1:31 PM


The book is made up of a series of questions. Some examples include "could you do the same thing all day?" or "could you run an all-night race?" Under some of the questions, there are possible responses written. For example, some possible responses to "How many different ways could you send a message?" are pigeon, email, singing telegram, walkie talkie. There are even some pages that involve doing an activity such as "draw a map of the rooms in your house."

Opinion/Critique 
In my opinion, this book is really amusing because it makes you thing about questions that you may have never pondered about before. I think that trying to answer all the questions would take a while so I suggest splitting the questions to make the most fun out of it. There's not really a story line so I don't think it would be the best book to read during story time.
Classroom application 
I think it would be a cool idea to ask your students a question every day of the school year. It'll be a fun and interesting way to start or end the day. Also, the book can provoke conversations between the students in which everyone can get to know one another better.
