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