Rainy Day Book

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is about a almost completely china rabbit who went on a cruise with his owner Abilene Tulane. On the cruise they met two boys who started to rip off Edwards clothing and dropping it on the floor. The two boys started playing catch with him but accidently one of the boys threw Edward into the ocean. The next day a fisherman found him and brought him to his wife. She lost him somehow and then someone else found him later someone else found him and so on. I recommend this book to people who like sad and serious books. by Anita

A little dark, very creative

I actually read this book to my class, and they really enjoyed it. In fact they were sad when the book was over. In truth, so was I. It's a little darker than I expected but really very interesting, great moral base, and great imagery (sp?). I highly recommend it to anyone who likes playful fantasy.

It should be six stars

I'm typing for my daughter who wanted to provide a review of the book. When we talked about the book she said it should definately be 6 stars. That's how much she liked it. She is 9. She says she liked it because it is "sort of like a life cycle." Her favorite character was Edward Tulane because he "really shows his feelings."

Definitely a forlorn tale, but it teaches a valauble lesson

I read this to my 6 year old daughter and we both loved it. The entire book is about love and loss, which are very realistic themes in life. There were some tragic parts, some parts that made us angry, and parts that made us tear up. All emotions excellent writing can evoke.

My daughter is very sensitive but was not disturbed by the book. Rather, it gave us an opportunity to discuss themes in life she has never encountered, like alcoholism or abuse that other children DO have to live with. I feel that it is important for her to know that there are people in the world who are "mean" and that love can be painful sometimes, but that like Edward she learn to love anyway.

A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love.

"Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart. . . ."

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 hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle ? that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.
