Customer Reviews

great book about changing behavior for kids

Edwardo gets a reputation and decides to live up to it. When his reputation starts changing from being horrible to starting to look positive his outlook changes a little bit and he makes the effort. I like how this book has some real truths to it and comes across in a clever and rather unique way. I like the theme to the book, but unfortunately I didn't really like the illustrations. They are sort of sloppy and not very detailed.

How can such a bad boy change his ways?

John Burningham's EDWARDO: THE HORRIBLEST BOY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD tells of a boy who is always disappointing adults. He's the clumsiest, noisiest, nastiest, and dirtiest boy in the world - and he lives up to every accusation. How can such a bad boy change his ways? Possibly by doing something nice, by mistake.
