This is one of the books I've been blessed to have published. Currently, it is only available from my website.
From the publishers of interesting facts, explorations into historical periods and figures, and numerous other titles for children comes two funny and entertaining holiday offerings in one: 501 Would You Rather for Kids, Christmas Edition and Try Not to Laugh Christmas Challenge from Ahoy Publications.
In a touching letter to parents and caregivers, the publisher states their mission of 501 Would You Rather is to give them and their families something to focus on other than the holiday stress. It refers to recent studies about the importance of developing a sense of humor in kids that tends to make them happier and more optimistic. And of course, they hope this book will help you fill Christmas--now and in the future--with holiday spirit. This is followed by a letter directed to the children and encourages them to share it with family and friends.
501 Would You Rather for Kids, Christmas Edition has engaging would you rather questions, riddles, recipes, jokes, songs, and puns. One can imagine a family taking this book a section at time and working through it, or making a new recipe and singing songs in between some of these Christmas-time jokes and riddles.
Try Not to Laugh Christmas Challenge is the second book. The publisher states their mission as bringing people together and to stimulate young minds. It encourages children to challenge their family and have fun.
Try Not to Laugh Christmas Challenge has jokes, quizzes, would you rather questions, Christmas quotes, tongue twisters, puns, and silly songs. It is a great complement to 501 Would You Rather for Kids, Christmas Edition. Smart idea on the part of the publishers to put them together.
Loved everything about both of these titles, and I look forward to more from Ahoy Publications.
