Synopsis
Both simple and profound, Which Would You Rather Be? is a modern classic.
This charming, kid-friendly picture book comes from a perfectly matched duo. Favorite books from the wildly creative William Steig include Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and Shrek Harry Bliss's many beloved picture books include Steve Martin's Number One Is Walking, the Diary of... books, and Louise, The Adventures of a Chicken.
Bliss's warm, accessible art and Steig's winning way with words make this book a treasure for any child--a celebration of humor and creativity.
