The book shows the example of how we should do the right thing as said by the rules. If everybody do the wrong things what might happened?

This book teaches children the reason why we have general behavior rules. It's not always because the behavior is dangerous or rude, it's because, "What if everybody did that?"
LibraryThing member amlugo
This book explains why doing the right thing is right. It uses the question, “what if everbody did that? ,” to explains how an action would be bad if everone did the same thing.

This book is good teaching a child that there are consequences for every action they do. And it helps a child think about what the outcome may be when they do do something that may be good or wrong.

This story is about a child doing what he seen everyone else doing and eventually he gets into trouble because of his actions. Pretty much its about letting children know just because some else does something dosen't always make it right.

everyone licked the wedding cake frosting, or raced their carts in the store. A fun way of pointing out the consequences of a thoughtless action, but really, if it's snowing outside, of course everyone is going to throw snow balls!
