All Fall Down
by Mary Brigid Barrett, illustrated by LeUyen Pham
Ages 2-5 16 pages Candlewick January 2014 Board book    

If you remember “Ring Around the Rosie” and the refrain “All fall down!” you’ll know where the inspiration for this board book comes from. The multiracial children pictured here build and then topple various things with the resounding “ALL FALL DOWN!” shout.

It is sort of amusing, until a toddler sends her place of heaped up mashed potatoes and peas tumbling off her high chair. As a grandparent, who can relate to cleaning up a mess like this, I was no longer amused by this little book. “How dumb!” I thought to myself and decided NOT to give this book to my granddaughter!
