Book Reviews of Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big (Storyopolis Books)

Book Review: Edward Loves his Sister.
Summary: 5 Stars

Although my son does not have a little sister, this book has a wonderful ending for any of us who did, and perhaps were not as nice to here as we could have been. I read this book to my son on many occassions, as the illustrations and story line are from the wonderful viewpoint of Berkeley Breathed... Other titles I thoroughly enjoyed reading to my son in his earlier years by this author were "A Wish for Wings that Work", "The Last Basselope", and "Goodnight Opus". These books are not only good for your children, but any parent who enjoys a good read and reading to rhyme will also get a kick out of these.

These titles are by far my favorite stories for reading to young ones, and are much more meaningful than one might believe if you're only familiar with the Opus cartoon strips...

Summary of Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big (Storyopolis Books)

Fannie Fudwupper's big brother, Edwurd, spends his time cooking up big fibs full of phooey and letting them rip. But one day, Edwurd tells such a whopping lie that the army, the air force, and the dogcatcher are called to reverse the damage. Full color.
Berkeley Breathed ("Bloom County") continues his successful second life as a first-rate children's storyteller. In the spirit of A Wish for Wings That Work and Red Ranger Came Calling, Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big celebrates Breathed's ample cartooning skill while incorporating a more weighty, atmospheric style to tell a simple story that makes intelligent use of both. Energetic, silly, "Bloom County"-esque caricatures provide contrast to some truly impressive set pieces, fat with color and playfully composed. And that's just the illustrations.

Edwurd's hilarious story is told by his overlooked little sister Fannie: "From a long line of liars, there's none higher upper... / Than my fibbing big brother, / The Edward Fudwupper." This accomplished yarn-spinner just can't seem to stop himself, "like the time he fibbed big / And told Ben and Dinky / That I had been borne by / A poodle named Stinky." But after an accident in the den with Mom's porcelain pig, Edwurd goes too far and implicates a couple of "passionate porkers" from Pluto. Soon the military arrives in full force, "with planes and with tanks and with loud whirligigs!" (Not to mention a very serious-looking helicopter with a banner encouraging the frightened populace below to "STAY CALM.") But this proves to be the least of Edwurd's worries, and in the end it's up to brave Fannie to save the day with a fib of her very own. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
