highly recommended

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 reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who 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 bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way, we are shown a miracle -- that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

the miraculous journey of edward tulane

This book is truly my favorite book. It can be interpreted as a version of the Velveteen Rabbit, but I see it as much, much more. Edward is a china rabbit who is thrown of a boat and into the ocean. He is rescued, but soon he finds himself in the garbage. Everytime he is rescued, he is lost once again untill a true miracle happens. This book sad, sweet, moving. I really enjoyed it!

Lost Doll advice!

I love this book, and highly recommend it as a read aloud book for schools, libraries and bedtime. But as I mention in my review at TheDollBlog.com, please be sensitive to the child who has recently lost a doll.
As any parent can attest, The Lost Doll or lovey is a serious emotional event in any child's life, and as wonderful a book as this is, (and it truly is a modern classic), no need to add to your child's distress.
PS: This beautiful book belongs on every doll lover's bookshelf as well!
*** Spoiler Alert *** (if you haven't read the book stop here)
Add to that the fact that the Doll returns, (albeit twenty years later) and you could raise false hopes in your child as well.

Charming, heart breaking, and beautiful...

I just put this book down. It was absolutely beautiful.
I warn you, though, this story is probably not for the sensitive (as demonstrated by the negative responses). Still, I think this is an important story for the overindulged, entitled generations that we are raising. It is about love, and appreciation, and loss, and need. The characters are very real and have qualities in people that we all know.

I loved this book. It was so moving and I would highly recommend it.

wonderful book to read together with your child.

This book was wonderful, tragic, sweet, and funny. My daughter and I read it together and loved every minute of it. The writing is fabulous and the illustrations are just so sweet. My daughter and I bawled at the completion of the book. It will be a book/memory we will always cherish.
