But Mom, Everybody Else Does

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Cushman. This book, which will likely strike a chord with readers, offers humorous variations on the complaint in the title. A girl tells Mom: "Everybody has a messy room," "Nobody has to practice," and "Nobody walks to school." The imaginative illustrations show wildly exaggerated examples of how "everybody else" lives; other children, for example, get to school by ostrich, limo, or flying saucer.
