A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love. Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost. Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle — that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

This was beautiful, sad, and heartwarming all rolled into one. Edward truly does go on a miraculous journey though life. What I truly enjoyed most was the realness of how everyone reacts differently to toys. From the little girls who loved Edward dearly to the homeless people who shared their secrets with him, and the young boy who lost is sister and then lost his one last connection to his sister. This was truly beautiful. Each character that Edward crossed paths with had a different vision for him, and it shows how one toy can really be anything depending on who currently has them.
