Editorial Review: Product Description: Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost. Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hobos camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle: even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A heart-warming bookI LOVE this book! I bought this at my local bookstore, and I stayed awake that night until i finished it! This book is #1 on my fave books list! Rating: - Wonderful ReadI used to dislike books about talking animals. Kate DiCamillo has totally changed my opinion. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane was such a touching story that I could absolutely not put it down. I read this one immediately after finishing Ann M. Martin's A Dog's Life and I think I must have gone through a whole box of Kleenex between the two books. The people that Edward meets as he is passed from one person to another are so well-defined. Even though he is with everyone a short time, the ... Read More Rating: - This story will stay with you even when it's over! Beautiful!This story is truly amazing! Edward teaches us how important it is to love in our lifetime, and how he learned the lesson that it was better to have loved and lost, then never having loved at all. The story starts out with a very vain rabbit doing everything he can to keep himself distracted from the child (abilene) that he lives with. When he is lost, he realizes that maybe it wasn't so bad living with her. And then he starts to meet new people that grow to love him and take care of him. And ... Read More Rating: - A Beautiful JourneyI've seen this book for a while now and heard/read many good things about it. And yet, for some reason, reading the summary on the back didn't drive me to read it...until this last week. For those who don't know, the gist of the story is that there is a "china doll rabbit" that a little girl has named Edward Tulane. She loves him immensely. Unfortunately, one day, Edward gets lost and begins a journey. The synopsis reminded me a bit of the movie Toy Story. As I started reading, I was surprised ... Read More Rating: - Most moving book I've ever readI read this book a loud over a few days to my [...]. All through out the book, we laughed and cried together. By the end of the book we were both bawling because our hearts were so moved. The author out did herself here. My seven year old went and got all his stuff animals and vowed to never treat them as if they didn't matter ever again. It has truly changed us all. The message about never giving up on love is a great message for adults too. I recommend it even as a gift to adults who have lost great loves ... Read More |
