(4) K-3 Edwardo is told that he is the worst boy in the world, and in a self-fulfilling prophecy, he becomes exactly that. But when faced with kindness and encouragement, he becomes "the nicest boy in the whole wide world." Burningham's storytelling and art are as strong as ever but can't carry the weight of the didactic story.
