Thanks to Katie Sproles for a lovely book talk.
DiCamillo, K. (2006). The miraculous journey of Edward Tulane. Cambridge, MA: Candlewick Press.
Have you ever wondered if your stuffed animals come to life? What are those unblinking eyes thinking?
In The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane,
Edward answers those two questions for us. Edward is a cold-hearted,
unloving, china rabbit who doesn’t understand what love is. That is,
until he is taken away from Abilene, the only person who ever loved him.
As Edward is thrown overboard he might think the worst. However, Edward
embarks on a miraculous journey where he meets a host of characters.
From fishermen to hoboes to sick children, Edward might just find out
what love is. Edward’s humbling journey can thaw the coldest of hearts.
Check out Kate DiCamillo’s tale of loss and love told through the eyes
of a porcelain bunny.
