Such a great book!
It's a very good book! I loved it so much! The only reason I am marking it violent, is because a little girl dies. I don't think its violent, but to some people it might be. This book is about a little china rabbit that belongs to a girl named Abiline. She loves him so much! But when he gets seperated from her, he has met and loved over five new people. And at the end, he find's Abiline.

A timeless classic...
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is by far one of my most favorite and cherished books. It follows the story of a china rabbit named Edward Tulane who embarks on a cruel journey from owner to owner, after he is thrown overboard while his owner (Abigail) and her parents are on a cruise. Edward is a doll, but he expresses his feelings and words through thoughts. I found this book really interesting and clever and a joy to read. In fact, I was so interested, I almost couldn't put it down, so I kept reading it and finished it before the day was done. The illustrations are also beautifully-drawn and add more to the story. I recommend this to any reader.

I Fell In Love
Out of all of the books I've read, this was one of my favorites. This book is ranked up there in my book with pieces like The Lovely Bones and Pride and Prejudiced. Why? This was one of the few books that made me cry. I sat in my room for three hours, reading this book, crying my eyes out on every page. I fell in love with Edward, the porcelain bunny, Bryce, Ruth, and even the hobo who picked up Edward. This was such a wonderful book. This book makes you realize that even in a world filled to the brim with misery and sorrow and pain and cruelty, that you can always find love and happiness if you open yourself up. That's deep. Amazing children's book, this is. Buy it if you can. :)

One moment you'll be smiling ear to ear, the next you'll be crying a sea.
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.

another sweet story for everyone to enjoy!!!!
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.
