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.

• Would you rather be a good athlete or a good student?
• Would you rather be able to fly or turn invisible?
• Would you rather have someone give you $100 or give $1,000 to the charity of your choice?
• Would you rather have parents who loved you but were poor or have parents who did not love you but were rich and gave you everything you wanted?
