Capture What If Everybody Thought That? Designed By Ellen Javernick In Electronic Format

book takes several examples of the things that many people think and show how you might be wrong,
For instance if you see a child without hair do you think they are embarrassed all of the time
Or if you see someone in a wheelchair, you might think he or she can't compete in a race.

If you see a child that has a hard time reading do you think that means he's not smart
In all of these cases, you might think so, but you might be wrong.

This book is the companion book to "What If Everybody Did that"
It encourages kids to be more compassionate and thoughtful,
I don't think this book is nearly as good as the first one, "What if Everybody Did That" but it is a launching point for conversations about how our preconceived notions might be wrong.
Great message, but wished for a more fulfilling ending, Goodreads Choice Awards Project: Read as many of the opening round Best Picture Book nominees as possible, I previously read two, soto go!

Best of intentions, worst execution, One page sets up a scenario in which people think nasty or closedminded thoughts, usually involving a person with a disability or some other physical challenge, and the next page upends those snap judgements and poor expectations.
Just that, over and over, with some scenarios seeming less likely than others, and some outright unrealistic,

And this seems to be third in a series They did this same thing in two previous books I suppose the intent is to use the book as a springboard for discussions with your children.
For me and my wife, not much fun to read or read aloud,

Update :
AMAZON CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!!! THE FIX IS IN FOR THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS!!!!

sitelinkPirates Don't Go to Kindergarten! was the the third lackluster book from the publisher Two Lions that I had read in three days during my Goodreads Awards project.
I'd never heard of this publisher before, so I started wondering how they came out of nowhere to have not even three but SIX nominees in the opening round, A close look at the verso page revealed Two Lions is an Amazon company, And with ath book from Amazon Crossing Kids in the Picture Book nominees, that means somehow, magically, Amazon the owner of Goodreads managed to capture nearly half the slots in the opening round.
What a coincidence!

A quick look at the other categories seems to show that Amazon is not dominating those in the same way, but this still seems pretty darn sketchy.
Another good thing tainted

I recommend everyone do writeins for this category and try to push out the Two Lions books, I recommend sitelinkPrincess Puffybottom and Darryl or sitelinkDandy, What's so great about this book is that usually the kids making fun have been made fun of, So when you write a book with colorful, accessible, fun illustrations and give your reader the opportunity to see how many different ways people can be mean, . . and in turn, kind it will capture a very large audience, Look for the ahha moment at every turn of the page,

Use this charming book for small group or individual discussion starters on how words hurt and attitudes can change, Read it to your whole classroom for a confidenceboosting, feelgood character lesson starter,
Sometimes when people see things they dont understand they may form a negative opinion, In this handy guide young readers will see the thoughts of characters when they see something they dont understand, Young readers will also get to see what happens once these characters learn and embrace something new and different,

This book is perfect for introducing young kids to ways of life that may be different from their own and teach them how others navigate and exist in everyday life.
Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to teach about disabilities, religion, race, culture and so much more,
I like the message but didn't love the script or the art, I'll have to check out sitelinkWhat If Everybody Said That, which reviewers wrote has the same message but read better,
Picked up because it was a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee, The first two books in this series were wonderful,

The third one, not a winner. The book covers controversial topics in a way that appears to make a joke about people's differences, The way this particular book covers these topics such as alopecia, cultural diversity, and learning disabilities is not developmentally appropriate for the elementary school ages, which I believe is the target audience.
Although the examples regarding how to lift one another up are positive, the way in which the book covers how someone might have misconceptions about others who are different are really quite cruel.
I'm aware that these hurtful, negative comments are a reality for some, and I'm not disputing that, I don't believe these examples are necessary to make the point that we should treat each

other with kindness,
When I put myself in the place of a student who may share similar experiences to the characters in this book, I would feel even more embarrassed to have this read in front of my peers.
What if everybody were more thoughtful before they judged someone

If you see someone in a wheelchair, you might think he or she couldnt compete in a race.
Butyou might be wrong. What if you see a child with no hair Do you think she is embarrassed all the time How about a kid who has a really hard time reading Do you think that means hes not smart You might think so.
Butyou might be wrong.

With clear prose and lighthearted artwork, this companion book to the bestseller What If Everybody Did That explores the preconceived notions we have about the world and encourages kids to be more thoughtful.
I agree with sentiment, but this is not good, The format is first a doublepage illustration with some kids thinking negative thoughts about another child, The narration says "What if everybody thought that" Flip the page and the child is doing something special and the text says "They might be wrong, "

Like, the opening page is a group of kids doubting a short boy playing basketball, This is followed by him flying up to the basket,

First of all, I would have preferred something more realistic, like maybe he's a good longdistance shooter, An unrealistic arguement indirectly validates the negative opinions, Second of all, I would have liked some positive thoughts beyond "Wow" to balance out the negative thoughts, Third of all, the format is very clunky trying to read aloud, Boring, didactic, and honestly just seems to focus too much on the kids' judgmental thoughts and seemed to not give them enough credit Idk, maybe I live in more multicultural society than the audience of this book, but kids never having heard of sushi and like very common Mexican food like refried beans and tacos and saying they sound gross seems totally unrealistic to me.
Also, terrible offensive depiction of a fat kid as the redfaced slowest person in the race, Everyone will surprise you with their abilities except the fat girl who confirms your fatphobic assumptions! Last year, I shared the book What If Everybody Said That with you, What If Everybody Thought That is another book in this wonderful childrens book series that teaches children that kindness matters, And kindness doesnt just matter in our words but in our thoughts too,

What we think matters because what we think is shown by how we act, If we think someone cant be a basketball player because theyre shorter, we might not pick them for our team, If that were the case, Isaiah Thomas may never have been given the chance to play basketball, At, hes one of the shortest NBA players, but hes also one of the best!

And what if everybody thought that having a disability meant that disability held them back Then we wouldnt have athletes with artificial legs winning races.
What we think matters!

What If Everybody Thought That is a very important book to share with your children, Teach them that making assumptions about someone or something different is not the way to think, This is a great book to add to your childs library, This book is okay . i guess i feel it uses a bunch of examples and sometimes dose the examples mutable times it sorta feels empty heres nothing up to the ending amp the lead up feels useless i like the drawing tho amp also i feel some parts are hard to understand at least for me a food part seemed like green eggs and ham lol anyways thanks for reading my ted talk























I'm trying to find a book on empathy and being nice this one.
. . sort of works Like, if you had to put together a list, this would be fine to put on it, I don't think it's one I'll be using, but it could be a good conversationstarter, I kind of don't like reading the mean things some people think, because a lot of little ones haven't even been conditioned to think those mean thoughts yet, But I don't know it was harmless, Genre: contemporary realistic fiction, grades K
This book is a pretty basic exploration of prejudice and stereotypes, but it could make for a good introduction, I like the premise of not thinking the way everybody else does, because oftentimes everybody can be wrong, The book stays so basic and simple that I doubt any students older than first grade would get much out of it, However, that basic introduction is still important! This is a great book for early elementary classrooms, I like that this book teaches kiddos to challenge the validity of their thoughts, It doesnt necessarily degrade or punish them for having the thoughtswhich would be unfair because we cant always control the thoughts we havebut it does teach them to question their thoughts.
Just because you think it, doesnt make it true, And thankfully, all the kiddos keep their questionable thoughts to themselves, so that when they see those thoughts are wrong they can choose actions based on truth and not problematic or hurtful thinking.
I also liked that the situations varied, but remained realistic to ones that kids may encounter, .
