K-3All Aboard Reading series.
Illustrated by
Esther Szegedy.
When young Ed attends his family reunion with Big Ed, Little Ed, Red Ed, Well-Fed Ed, and Bed-Head Ed, he wishes he, too, could have a nickname. He tries every activity in his search for a moniker, ending up "Ed the Potato Sack Champ." Simple and repetitive enough for beginning readers but with a flat ending, this book is illustrated with cartoony art.
