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!

A perennial bestseller that begins with a warning: Proceed with caution. This book is only for those with a twisted imagination. Be prepared to leave conventional thought behind and join the ranks of the demented and insane. Previously published as Would You Rather . . .?, with 356,000 copies in print, Damned If You Do . . . is an addictive game in a book that challenges readers to ask—and attempt to answer—more than 400 questions that range from the heinous to the nauseating to the downright disturbing. Each is a field-tested conversation starter guaranteed to provoke ridiculous fun, break the ice at any party, and, like some kind of sick Rorschach test, open a unique window into the minds of friends and family. Some questions delight in their own grossness: Would you rather . . . Eat three earthworms–OR–wear a necklace made of them on your wedding day? Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs–OR–three fat men with bad breath? Some force you to reveal values: Would you rather . . . Age only from the neck up–OR–age only from the neck down? Be stupid and rich–OR–smart and poor? Some create that squirming sensation: Would you rather . . . Get a bad case of poison ivy way up inside your nose–OR–inside your inner ear? And some are just deliciously absurd. Each question also features related, often off-the-wall information, from quotes to dumb jokes to delightfully odd trivia (326-pound President William Howard Taft once got stuck in the White House bathroom).

An engrossing activity for crafters and artists, doodlers and colorers, Paint by Sticker: Cats brings 12 irresistible cats to life, piece by piece. There’s a playful ginger tabby hanging from her paws, an elegant, blue-eyed Siamese angling for a head scratch, and more!

The magic of Paint by Sticker Kids continues, combining the fun of coloring and stickers with the creativity of paint by number. The series just keeps growing, with another much-loved nature-themed topic: Bugs! Paint by Sticker Kids: Beautiful Bugs includes everything kids need to create 10 full-color illustrations of their favorite creepy-crawlies: a firefly, a praying mantis, a ladybug, butterflies, ants, a painted grasshopper, a dragonfly, beetles, a bumblebee, and a weevil. Simply find the numbered sticker, peel it, and place it in the right space. Add the next, and the next—and watch a dazzling image come to life with color and spirit in the modern “low-poly” style (using geometric polygon shapes). The card-stock pages are perforated so artwork can be easily removed for framing or the fridge. Creating sticker art is as fun and meditative as coloring, and it’s a refreshing shake-up from the usual crayons and markers. Plus, the peel-and-place system allows kids to practice recognizing and learning numbers in an interactive, stress-free way. And it’s a great rainy day or travel activity (no cleanup!) that delivers hands-on fun for less than $10.

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL Seriously, can you not though? Life is hard, everyone sucks, blah blah blah. Swearing (and drinking) helps, and so does this book, a charming collection of illustrations that actually say what most of us think every day—so freaking over it.
