WARNING: This book contains obnoxious children. Read at your own risk!

A curious book with witty pictures telling tales of lots of willful, headstrong, intractable children. (Sounds like lots of adults doesn't it?) Read about Eavesdropping Eva, Nagging Nora, Blustering Buster, and over 20 others. And yes, the warning above is on the book!
