"From the beginning cover to the last page, this book is full of beautiful illustrations that display what the words wanted to show.This book is the story of how the world is all the same, although there are so many different people with different backgrounds. All the World, shows children how the people of this world are more similar than they would think. We are similar in the fact that we experience the same things and go through similar things as each other. The illustrations even show that through the usage of drawing people of all ethnicities to show diversity within a community. I also love the simplicity of the words that describe a scene, and then on a two-page centerfold it describes the world in some way. Showing how big the world can be. Flipping each page, I would lose my breath because of how beautiful the illustrations are. I just wanted to jump in the book! This book is excellent to show students how the world is the same, and how we can view the world!"

    " All the World is about all the wonderful things that happen everyday around us. The rhymes are very unique, and the illustrations are very pretty. This book would be great for children or adults. All the World is a great book for children because the rhymes are so much fun. The words wouldn't make very much sense without the illustrations. The illustrations were done with watercolor, and they are beautiful. The gradation from day to night it amazing. "

    " A wonderful book about all the elements that make up the world following a family of a boy and girl and their parents during the day. Not only the people but also the weather, and the things that are in our world. The rhyme makes it a great picture book and it is also a larger size. "

    " I wasn't sure if it would carry during story time, but if you have the kids act out the text (for instance I had them make a big circle with their arms when I read 'all the world') it's a great summer story time book. "

    " Big, awesome illustrations, though disappointingly plotless and a little hippy dippy (as my grandma would say) for a picture book. Yes, we are all all the world. All of it. Everything. Ok. Got it. "
