A fantastical journey through a doll, Edward Tulane, who only knew the luxurious, spoiled, high-class lifestyle. Edward is lost in an unfortunate string of events, and overcomes his smug view of his new life through many experiences. Overall a story that shows the reader what life is all about, appreciating what you have and making the most of it. A sweet story enhanced by wonderful illustrations.

LOoved it sooooo much

i loved it was the best but it gets to be very sad when sarah ruth dies

I am a mother of two boys, 5 and 7. We read this book (a few chapters at a time) and it got to the point where we just couldn't stop until we finished it. The book is brilliant! It affects you emotionally as well as physically. Once when Edward is drowning and sinking to the bottom of the ocean, you actually feel as if you, yourself, can't breathe. This book teaches us a great lesson in values and love, for chilren and adults alike.

my kid jason cried but when i read read it it was good. but not for kid under 8 or 9

My 2nd grade teaching team and I read it to our students this spring and it was a big hit! Even we teachers found nuances to discuss during lunch each day! Of course, it got to the point where my students were fortifying themselves with precautionary tissues before each chapter. Then we had to read the last three in one big clump because the ending is so powerful that I couldn't leave them hanging! A great read/discussion for kids 7+.

I read this book to my 3rd grade class. The whole class was on the edge of their seats. They were begging me to keep reading when it was time to go home. This book pulls you in right away and keeps your interest. There are a few sad points in the story but no one in my class was upset (ages 8-9) My 10 year old daughter read it in 2 days. The story comes full circle and teaches about caring and loving family. I highly recommend this for 3 - 5th graders.

Excellent morality points to discuss with any child who can sit and listen to the story. My son is 5 and did exceptionally well; often asking if we could read one or two more chapters before closing the book for the night.

I use this book as a read-aloud for the 5th graders in my classroom while we study characters. I cry every time I read it. Edward's "Journey" is both physical and emotional. The illustrations are gorgeous and really add to the story. The author's voice" in the book is extraordinary (which makes it a fun read-aloud). Older kids will enjoy it too.

I'm 11 years old and i was reading this book just for funn because in my class got introuble alot so we had silent snack and i read chapter by chapter and it waws a fantastic book i loved it, i read about 2 to 4 chapters in class and i read a total of 9 chapter in one day because it was a hands on book and i had detention thia was a great book with mostly positive language and messages

One of the greatest books I have ever read. I love this book so much. Deserves 5 stars. I love the ending especially. Kate DiCamillo is such a great author!

hello

My title explains it all. I loved this book. You will too. Just read it.

I love this book, it's a story about a rabbit named Edward, who at first belongs to a little girl, but then gets lost. Edward doesn't return anyone's love for him and just doesn't care. But then he goes on this adventure and meets new people who all take care of him and then lose him to someone else, Edward misses each person and each person has an imapct on him. He learns that's it's ok to open your heart and return love.

This is a must-read book for anyone who loves dramatic stories. This touching book discusses feelings from love and calmness, to sorrow and tearfulness. This is an unforgettable, wonderful book.

I think that it is a great book and that EVERYBODY should read it!!
