If Everybody Did October 9, 2009 ET (Cottage Hills IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I loved this book as a child and have been looking for it for a number of years. My 5 year old grandson has had me read it to him again and again and we have laughed and laughed. It didn't take long for him to memorize a lot of the book and he reads along with me. Our favorite parts are if everyone ate a lot of fudge (everyone is fat) , or squeezed the cat ( the cat is squashed in the middle.)A fun way to teach children some not to do some things because if everybody did there would be dire results.
Stupid September 24, 2009 F. Farmer (Florida) 3 out of 7 found this review helpful
The illustrations on the cover are great. But inside they're black and white, which stinks. But aside from that, the ideas put forward don't really make much sense: "What if you mashed your hash? What if everybody did?" That's just stupid and my 3 year old child wanted to know what hash was and why you'd be mashing it. I could see some ideas that would make sense, like, "What if you ran out into traffic without looking? What if everyone did?" THAT'S something a child can learn from. If you're interested, get this book at the library, read it once, because that's all you'll need and then return it and get something better.
Ridiculous Story With Poorly Drawn Black and White Pictures September 4, 2009 S. Herzberg (Baltimore) 4 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was stunned. Ridiculous results such as getting fat and floating up into the sky if you eat too much fudge. How about mass suicide by jumping from high buildings if you climb too high? Top that off with the most pathetic black and white drawings ever. (Not that I wanted the suicides well drawn and in color!) I just can't imagine how this book could be any worse.

Our grandchildren enjoyed the book so much, they had me read it a second time.
Remember this well from my childhood and wanted to share with my kids April 21, 2009 M. Levine (NJ) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was one of my favorite books growing up. I loved the crazy drawings and the life lessons have stayed with me my whole life. Whether it's litter or pollution or manners, I really do think about what happens if all of us do the same thing. I actually lost my copy and was thrilled to see the book is still in print.
