If Kids Ruled the World

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55453-591-0 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Huyck. This book starts off strong: if kids ruled the world, "birthday cake would be good for you," "there'd be no such thing as bedtime," etc. The big finish, for which smooth digital illustrations show a multigenerational cast acting childish: "No one would ever forget how to PLAY!" It's rather a letdown, though: do kids really dread forgetting how to play?
