If Everybody Did by Jo Ann Stover

Great Book for some discussion - It starts with an illustration of what if ONE person did something like . . . “spill tacks” . . . and the following page illustrates what would happen if EVERYone spilled tacks.  The book goes through funny actions, serious actions, and typical parent concerns like: jumping in the mud.
