This first book I'm going to be reviewing is called, "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" by Kate Dicamillo. I LOVED this book. It is a very quick read, it's 198 pages but they are small pages and there are a lot of illustrations. We read the book in two days. This book is about a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. A little girl name Abilene owned him and loved him very much. One day while on a vacation she lost him. This book is about his adventures after he is lost.
I thought it was beautifully written and had a great message. I even got a little teary eyed a couple of times during the book. My kids all enjoyed the book too; a few of the big ones have re-read the book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
If you are reading the book aloud I think both girls and boys of all ages will enjoy it. But because there is a a rabbit on the cover boys over eight might be hesitant to read it on their own. We read it as a family and we all really liked the book.
We are almost done reading Pippy Longstockings, but would love to try this one after. Do you own it?
ReplyDeleteI borrowed it from Abby, but I'm sure she would let you borrow it too.
