In some ways, If Kids Ruled the World is a pretty predictable children’s book: for example, everyday would be your birthday; your doctor would remind you to eat your birthday cake; there’d be no such thing as bedtime, and you wouldn’t have to make your bed etc. etc. However, there are a few surprises that reflect children’s fears—of monsters, for instance—as well as the influence of fairy tales and movies on children’s minds: everyone could be a prince or princess and could travel to faraway places by pirate ship. Children’s fascination with dinosaurs, tree forts, and treasure also comes up. This is very light fare with large, boldly coloured (only slightly cartoonish) pictures to pore over. Children’s real fears and more altruistic wishes, their concerns for the people and animals they love don’t really make much of an appearance here, which is rather a shame. This prevents a lively book from being a really great one. 3.5 stars. This book is a more playful alternative to "If Kids Ran the World", it included things like giant bubble baths and polka dot sidewalks. My students both primary and lower intermediate enjoyed it as a read aloud. They loved looking at the detailed and colorful illustrations (which supplement the story perfectly). We did an extension activity in which my students created their own visions of what would happen If Kids Ruled the World. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

If Kids Ruled the World is sure to be a hit with those speculative children who are always asking "What if...?" or describing "Wouldn't it be funny if..."
