Edwardo: The horriblest boy in the whole world by John Burningham


Random House Children’s Books
New York
C2006
Picture Book

Meet Edwardo, who can do no good. Everyone notices Edwardo, especially when he does wrong. He does wrong so often odds are that something will eventually turn out right. And when it does, everyone begins to see Edwardo in an entirely new way. What could have been a cloying cautionary tale about the dangers of negative feedback and self-fulfilling prophecy is made fresh, whimsical, and humorous thanks to Burningham’s playful bright illustrations and text. This latest book is further proof attesting to the author’s award-winning talent, and great for children of all ages. *****
