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.

I read this book in 4th grade

Our teacher read us this book and I did not think I would like it but it was very good.

I thought this book would be kind of on the boring side, but I really enjoyed instead and was sad when the book ended.You should really read it, it is a very great book!

This book is one of my favorite books ever! It is about a stuffed animal rabbit who goes on an adventure meeting people all around the world. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a beautiful book too. I had such a great time reading it!
