Would You Rather Be a Princess or a Dragon?
Would You Rather Be a Princess or a Dragon? | Barney Saltzberg
34 posts | 1 read
Some little ones want to be princesses; others want to be dragons. The message of this book is that you can actually be both!There are lots of things you can be: a little wild, a little sweet. A little polite, a little troublesome. A little dainty, a little dragony. There's nothing stopping you from being just what you want to be . . . so which would you rather be: a princess or a dragon? Here's just the book to help you sort through that difficult question. You might be surprised at what you decide by its end.

I didn't know the dragon-princess rivalry was so well documented!

trueisa4letterword @mrsmarch Oh jeez 🐉👸 7y
trueisa4letterword @umbrellagirl I've seen that one! I'll have to check if there are princesses in it 7y
umbrellagirl There aren‘t any. We pretty much have that one memorised. There is a sequel where tacos become extinct but we don‘t have that one yet. 7y

Most of the book feels painfully, uncomfortably sexist. The ending is redeeming but not nearly enough to save this book.

?beer. No more wine for me.
?the cover-works most of the time.
?beach. Need the sun and water!
?realistic. Someone else's "real" drama makes me feel better about mine ?
?mr.rochester/jane eyre. That means both together, right? ?

5. Lizzie by default. We might actually have fun together, while I'm pretty sure the other three would piss me off so much I'd storm out in a rage.

#BookishWouldYouRather thanks to @Kalalalatja

👓 Give me herbal tea or water instead, I don't drink.
👓 Ideally their first page but I am swayed by a great cover.
👓 Give me a forest every time.
👓 Fantasy preferably, reality is too depressing.
👓 This was hard, I love both couples for different reasons, Darcy & Lizzy for their pure chemistry & banter, Rochester & Jane for their intensity & passion.

Kalalalatja Reality is just too damn depressing at times... 7y

1. Always #craftbeer
2. 1st pg. I've seen some pretty covers with terrible innards.
3. Hm. Tough one. I like both. Less people in forest. Both can make you dirty. Relaxing sounds at beach, more consistent light. Beach, I guess!
4. Real life gives me enough realistic that I could do without those books if I had to chose.
5. 😨 don't hate me, but I've read neither of those books!

I hope I'm not too late to participate in this week's #BookishWouldYouRather
1. Chocolate!
2. While I don't hate deckled edges, they can be a bit of pain sometimes so I'll go with colored edges
Although, I've scratched the color off sometimes and then it's not perfect 😓
3. Oh.My.God. I cannot choose.😨
4. Neverland, I've never had a strong urge to do drugs lol
5. I'd be so happy with either but publishing, I'd love to be an editor!

2. Colored, not enough publishers do this
3. Stand alone
4. Wonderland
5. Publishing

1. Chocolate for sure. Or maybe chocolate covered strawberries. Is that cheating?!
2. Sprayed edges. So pretty and not annoying.
3. I have to say series. If it's good and I love the characters I get really attached and don't want to say goodbye.
4. Neverland. I love Alice and her Wonderland but wouldn't want to live in an Acid trip. And I can avoid all the children in Neverland right?
5. Publishing!

Kalalalatja You wouldn't be the first to "cheat" today ? 7y

1. I actually more prefer savory snacks. Except now I'm kinda craving chocolate covered fruit. So I guess neither or both.
2. I like both!
3. Stand alone, for sure.
4. They both sound awful, but I guess I'd go with the one where you don't age.
5. Up until recent, I would have said publishing, but I think I'd have to go with library now.

Is this the most noncommittal #BookishWouldYouRather ever, or what?

Kalalalatja Haha! I think it is fun to see, that some people have very clear opinions about these things and others are just meh 😄 7y

Another wonderful survey from @Kalalalatja

1. Chocolate of course, coz I have no willpower!
2. Coloured edges, I hate deckled edges (papercuts*shudder*)
3. I'm undecided on this one, I love both!
4. Wonderland, I'm a sucker for madmen
5. Librarian definitely! Helping people choose the best book? No contest.

1. Never-- I only like to crack the spine with mass market PBs
2. Coffee
3. Fantasy!
4. That's a tough one: I do my personal read in the evening, but morning storytime would be tough if I couldn't read...
5. Let's go with author. I don't think I'd be good at running a bookstore-- I'm no good at charging people for books!

Kalalalatja It might ruin the business, if you just gave away all the books 😂 7y

1. Bed. Definitely. My favorite reading spot
2. Nordic. No Greek mythology for me!
3. Having only one book available to read per month would make me a nervous wreck, so I'm going to have to pick mediocrity
4. Movie. Then they couldn't renew it for a second season and screw it all up
5. Adult. Definitely.
