Bookroo's summary

Imagine a world where everyone tosses trash, talks out of turn, or skips washing up. Chaos reigns as small actions spiral into big messes. But what if everyone followed the rules? Through playful illustrations, explore the impact of our choices and discover how simple acts can transform the world into a better place. Will you choose chaos or harmony?

From the publisher

If you drop just one soda can out the window, it’s no big deal…right? But what if everybody did that? What if everybody broke the rules…and spoke during story time, didn’t wash up, or splashed too much at the pool? Then the world would be a mess. But what if everybody obeyed the rules so that the world would become a better place? Using humorous illustrations rendered in mixed media, these questions are answered in a child-friendly way and show the consequences of thoughtless behavior.
