What do our readers think of You Choose? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children enjoy making their own choices, spotting new details and talking about why they like particular pictures. They often return to the book because each reading can lead to different choices, stories and conversations.
What does the Pageticker team say about You Choose?
The first and original You Choose picture book that turns reading into a game of imagination and choice. Each spread invites children to explore different places, outfits, foods, friends and adventures, making it excellent for shared reading, conversation and vocabulary-building. Its open-ended format is more about playful exploration than a traditional story - and can make it a very difficult book to bring to a conclusion!
