My spirit was lifted as I wiped away the tears while Edward uncovered the realism of opening your heart that many of us forget as adults. His trials are symbolic of life's crests and troughs, but through Edward, young readers will discover the rewards of sharing love and remaining faithful to hope. However, this book is for older youths who can absorb the trials Edward endures. As for the poor characters who seem forgotten, they can serve to remind us that like them, we are blessed by those we share our lives with even if we never know their outcome. Share this one with your children and your own heart. The illustrations are magical masterpieces and the story will enrich your life. |

I have been a fan of Kate DiCamillo since the publication of her last book, The Tale of Despereaux. After reading that book I quickly read her back list and was even more impressed. In The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane we are given a glimpse of arrogance gone wild. The china doll is made to feel special and is loved so much by his owner that he can't conceive he holds any other position than the center of the universe. Then, in an unexpected event, Edward Tulane is thrust into the depths of despair and only thru the kind acts of others is he taught the meaning of love. His various handlers and owners each contribute to Edwards’s salvation in small ways. I found this story to be profoundly touching. I suspect that many grandparents such as myself will find themselves reading this story to our grandchildren. I certainly plan to do so at the earliest opportunity. Kate DiCamillo is truly a national treasure. I look forward to future stories and the development of her as a great author. |

It is a book that you do not ever want to end. The magic of the authors words will invite readers of all ages to go beyond in the thinking about what it takes to love deeply. This book is for children of a 6 and up. The subjects of death, loss, love and hurt are expressed that some younger children might not be able to take. Older adults need to read this book. I have dealt with feelings of not being loved and this book is better than any self help book out! Thank you for writing such a wonderful book. |

This book can be read over and over again by children and adults. As the reader grows their background knowledge grows. This book can take the reader to many different and unique places based on their own experiences. I am a 4th grade teacher and am using it with a group of students in a small book club. I think Kate Dicamillo has done it once again. The way she describes her characters, their thoughts, feelings and experiences the reader can not help but get in to the book. This is a keeper to be read year after year. Connections can be made to ones' own life as well as others. Great mentor book for the entire class. |

We recently read this aloud as a family, and I enjoyed it immensely. It has a beautiful plot, following the life of a 3-foot high, including the ears, china rabbit (he hates being called a bunny) who begins living with a little girl named Avaline who loves him, and dresses him in his fine silk suits and lets him wait for her to come home every day with his gold pocketwatch on his paw. But, if Edward Tulane (as that is his name) does love anything, it is his fine clothes. Pelegrina, (I hope that is how it is spelled) Avaline's grandmother, knows that he does not love anyone, and so sends him on a miraculous adventure. This story has many beautiful aspects to it, the writing is very beautiful and simple, as in the Wizard of Oz, and it has many sad parts, but that is packaged up in a good story, is it not? It is a good reading aloud book, and is a story that I wish to someday read to my children. It truly brings a family closer together. |

My 2nd grade daughter and I just finished The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane last night. We both fell in love with this book. It has been quite a while that I have wanted to sing the praises of a book this bad. We love all of Kate Dicamillo's work thus we were expecting to enjoy this tale. We had no idea what we were getting into, neither of us wanted to put the book down. Normally she asks for one more chapters and I sigh and respond with "tomorrow night". I was just as intrigued as she was. Together we have read the Harry Potter books, all of a Kind Family, Ramona, Little House and more. So far this is our favorite and I am insisting my 12 year old daughter reads it. |

My 6 year old still hates chapter books and wants to see pictures. This is the first book she sat through and enjoyed. We both cried together. We learned a lot. It's in the same vein as Velveteen Rabbit in that being loved makes you special. Being special does not make you special. The rabbit in this story starts off feeling likes he's better than everyone else - he's an upper crust rabbit. Then a series of events occur that make his heart grow - like the Grinch. It's a tremendously engaging and moving story. You'll be able to talk about it a lot with your children. Great for older kids to read by themselves. |

This beautiful book (both lovely to read and lovely to look at) tells the story of a china rabbit named Edward Tulane: How he loses all that love him, and how he finally learns what love is. It is a fine book about redemption, about the resilience of the human spirit. I recommend this book to readers of all ages! |

Kate DiCamillo is an amazing storyteller. Her books simply beckon to be read aloud. My daughter and I have been reading a few chapters each night and it always leaves her on pins and needles, waiting to see what will happen next to the china rabbit, Edward Tulane. Also, the language in this book is wonderful. The vocabulary and sentence structure will enhance a child's reading and writing abilities, unlike so many of the simplistic books being written for children today. My children and I can't wait for the next one! |

I am a 2nd grade teacher and bought this book in early April. I read it and thought it was truly delightful. I decided to read the first 2 chapters to my 2nd grade students. Thy begged for more. We read it, discussed it, finished it and they sighed and asked me to read it again. I have read some reviews that worry about the violence in the book. I guess since my students live lives comparable to Bryce and Sarah Ruth they could empathize quite a bit. We have read it 3 times in all and they insist that they love it more each time. The illustrations are captivating and beautiful. My students usually do not like read aloud books that have so few pictures, but as one of my students stated, "These pictures are special and you don't mind waiting to see them." They did see the parallels of the "cruxifiction" of Edward, but were not bothered at all by it- they empathized with the pain the bunny must have felt but it made them love Bryce even more for rescuing Edward. I absolutely love this book and will continue to read it aloud to my future students. |
