A PBS friend sent me this book.  It's a children's book by Kate DiCamillo.  It's about a china rabbit named Edward Tulane.  Edward can think and see but he can't move or talk.  He's owned by a girl named Abilene.  The story is about his journey when he becomes lost on vacation.

Has anyone read it?  I thought it was wonderful.  A sweet story.  Emotional in the way that most kid's books are.

I read it to the kids a couple years ago when it first came out. We really enjoyed it.

it sounds really poignant, thanks for the mention.  

Shana, it's a really sweet story.  Poor Edward gets kicked around a few times.  You start to feel sorry for that ol' rabbit.

I loved  that book.  It is very similar to a book my daughter and I read a few years ago about a china doll named Hittie who eventually ends up in the hands of Abe Lincoln.  If you liked Edward...you'll like Hittie also!

I work in an elementary school library and every time this book comes across my desk I almost have to hug it. It is such a sweet, tender story and the format it is printed in is beautiful. I have a keeper copy sitting on my coffee table and find myself just rubbing the cover sometimes. Often when I finish a wonderful book I will sit and think about it and touch the cover but this one just makes me feel good every time I see it. I guess that's kind of weird but that's just me :)

  I loved this book because it packed such a large message in such a short book. Since I've got my own copy now, I have read it three times and cried cathartic tears all three times.  When my granddaughters get old enough (they are three now) I will get them a copy.  It is truly a wonderful book.

Thank you I am always on the look out for good kids books. I will check this one out.

I've read it to DD.  It's a lovely story but be forewarned...there is a very sad section.  Even I cried :(.

I really like her as an author. I've read several of her other books, but not this one yet.  I did buy it for my nephew for Christmas, so next time I'm visiting, I am planning on borrowing it to read.

What a wonderful book! I read it to my fourth graders every year. They love it! I would recommend anyone with children to read it to them.

This is one of my favorite books! I read it during my last moving escapade. I sat on the deck  on a cold and rainy day in December while the movers brought the furniture in, and cried.

I just finished reading it and will save it for the Grandchildren!!!! Love it!!!
