Edward Tulane

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
By Kate DiCamillo
Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline

Oh, oh!  This sweet/sad fairy tale of sorts really just pretty much broke my heart.  Edward Tulane, a china rabbit, begins life in a fancy house, with expensive silk clothes, and a little girl who loves him more than anything.  But he doesn't realize how lucky he is, or what it means to love someone back.
Edward ends up, by chance, going through a series of wild adventures with various characters--some kinder than others--and he discovers what it is like to feel the beauty and pain of love.
And such gorgeous pictures in this book!  Enjoy!
