Edwardo: The Horriblest Boy in the Whole Wide World
by: Burningham, John

Hardcover. New York, Knopf, 1st US, 2007, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 32 pages illustrated in color by Burningham. Dust jacket, very clean and tight copy. With a few words and clear, spacious line-and-watercolor pictures, award-winning British author-artist Burningham expresses a small child's rebellion against overwhelming grown-ups. Edwardo is sometimes a little untidy, cruel, clumsy, noisy, and rude. But when adults overreact and tell him he is the roughest and nastiest of boys, he becomes much, much worse. Then one day, completely by accident, he starts to make good things happen, and everyone loves him.
