I adore this book and the other two books about Edward. It's SO RARE to find a children's book about a child who attempt something and decides he is NOT ready for it! Every other children's book seems to have the theme that if you try something, and overcome your fears, you will just love it and all will be fine. In this book, Edward tries preschool and is just not ready, although the school is comforting and kind. The wise teacher and parents decide to take him out of the school. I was shocked that many people criticized this book like it was going to erode mankind. Is it so horrible for a child to not be ready for the next stage of life? I love almost anything Rosemary Wells has written, but I think this one is my very favorite! (
