The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
By Kate DiCamillo
Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline
A magical story about a china rabbit from an award-winning author and artist.
Abilene loves her blue china rabbit, but Edward Tulane is extremely vain, and only loves himself. On a voyage to London, Edward falls overboard and starts on an amazing journey. He travels with hobos, works as a scarecrow, comforts a dying child, dances on the streets of Memphis, and finally learns what it is to truly love.

- "Authorial musings on the nature of love, hope, revenge and hatred combine with high drama to make this a book that begs to be read aloud." Limelight Magazine on 'The Tale of Despereaux'.

Review
"This precious story deserves a place among those classics which resonate long after the reader has grown up…The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is nothing less than exquisite. It is free of preaching and beautifully moving. This book is perfect for reading aloud to a child, but it is equally perfect for an adult to read along, to recapture what it means to be full of wonder and remember the importance of love." The Herald Sun
