The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane


The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane  by Kate DiCamillo   200 pages

Ya gotta love a book about a rabbit. I bought this book to read to Gracie, my pet bunny. She likes to be read to; she’ll sit in my lap and try to nibble at the pages, but I can tell by the position of her ears that she is listening. Maybe not to me, but she’s listening to something J.

Edward Tulane is a very, very spoiled china rabbit. He has an entire wardrobe of clothes, shoes, and hats. He’s also a little arrogant, thinking he’s above everyone else in the world, especially in the world of his owner, a little girl named Abilene.

Every morning before she leaves for school, Abilene dresses Edward and sets him in chair, positioned so that he can look out the window. The gold watch rest in his lap will help him know when it’s time for the little girl to come home.

One day, Abilene and her parents set off on the Queen Mary, bound for London. And so begins the Edward’s harrowing journey. The places he winds up are enough to make a bunny lose all his hair. But Edward is a stalwart little dude, and where he eventually winds up, made me smile.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane gets 5 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
