About the Book

It's not a big deal if you drop one soda can out the window, right? What if everyone did that? What if everyone broke the rules...and talked during story time, didn't wash up, or splashed too much in the pool? Then the world would be a mess. But what if everyone followed the rules so that the world would become a better place? With the help of humorous illustrations rendered in mixed media, the questions are answered in a child-friendly way and the consequences of thoughtless behavior are explained.
