Why the "why" matters

The choice takes a second. The reason is the point: "I would rather have a dragon because it could fly us home" is a child giving an opinion and backing it up, which is the start of persuasive writing. Ask why every time.

Make your own

A good question has two choices that are both fun or both a bit silly. Leave out anything that would scare a little one, and anything about real people in the room.
