A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love.

"Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart. . . ."

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 treated him with the utmost care and 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 top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle — that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

" but, that is what makes it GREAT!. at my old school i tarred to read this book because my teacher said it was amazing! and i was even more AMAZING! when i stated to read it. When ever I see a girl holding this book i say to her " This book is THE BEST BOOK EVER" so read it!!!!!!!!!!.

this book is the BEST book ever. I could never stop when i began. I want to read it again but I can't find this book in the school library. I wish they had this book. The library teacher said that she would make a wish list and that she would let us write at the most 5 books on that list and the number 1 book on the list is going to be The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane! !! ! !! !! !! ! !!

SAD, but great book, this is my FAVORITE book ever!!!! this poor rabbit learns how to make new friends,but also knows how to keep old ones in his heart. This book deserves to get 100 stars, if there was i would rate that many stars!!!
