The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane Kate DiCamillo and Bagram Ibatoulline I wanted to read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane because at the time that I heard of its publication, I’d read pretty much everything else that Kate Dicamillo wrote. So this particular book is about a extremely fancy porcelain rabbit who has an owner, a little girl, who loves him to pieces and takes very good care of him, and he doesn’t appreciate it at all. He’s totally selfish and not interested in her, and wants to preserve his good looks, and he gets lost. Really bad things happen to Edward, even after you’ve sort of grown to care about him as a character, and I think that that could just be really pretty devastating as a child. This book had really wonderful characters, and I felt like the evolution, like the journey that he goes on, the sort of eponymous journey is really clear, and it makes you feel like you’re sort of going somewhere with him.
