Edwardo is an ordinary boy, so sometimes he can be a bit grubby or clumsy, a bit cruel or noisy or rude. Just then, Edwardo's luck begins to change, and a series of chance events reveal that really he is a lovely boy, and has been all along.

Edwardo can be grubby, and clumsy, a bit mean sometimes, and noisy and rude - but does this really make him the horriblest boy in the world? This touching and thought- provoking parable about seeing the best in people from the inimitable John Burningham is now published in paperback. Ages: 5-7yrs.
