Welcome to Litsy!

As I was listening, I kept thinking, “Why haven‘t I heard of this book. I would have LOVED reading this to my kids.” Answer: It wasn‘t published until my kids were past that stage. This is a sweet, heartwarming story of a china rabbit learning about life and love. Judith Ivey, narrator, brings the characters to life. A big THANK YOU to @Addison_Reads for recommending this book.

Genre: Young Adult Fiction
September 23 - October 4
My teacher from Grade 5 recommended this book, so I decided to find it.
Edward Tulane is a plush that was originally owned by a little girl. While the girl loved the doll, Edward didn't feel anything. He was found in a garbage dump after the girl dropped him in the ocean. He meets new people, then he gets lost, and the cycle repeats. Throughout his journey, he learns how to care for others.

I love Kate DiCamillo‘s books. They‘re all so magical and captivating. And this one was no exception. A lovely story about a china rabbit and his journey. And Judith Ivey does a fabulous job narrating.

I book I read in a mini book club during a University class. It's one for the whole family. I read it to my daughter (she was 7 at the time) and she loved it. Lots of emotions in that book.

This book is a book that my mom read to me when I was a kid and I absolutely loved

This one is absolutely heartwarming.

I‘ll admit I shed a tear or two at the end of the book!

Modern Fantasy. This was a book that was read to me in the fourth grade and I have always held it dear to my heart. It is a perfect read aloud for older kids and perfect for children to read on their own as well.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo and illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline, 2006. This is a wonderful fantasy story about a toy rabbit who goes on a long journey to many different people and finds his way back home. The story is vivid and engaging and the illustrations only add to the wonder of the story. It‘s beautiful and a perfect example of modern fantasy.

One of my all time favorites. It‘s not always about the physical journey but the journey of your heart.

After seeing the Book Boost about The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo in class, I went straight to the CMC to see if I could find it! This F book would be good for an RA or maybe an adapted RT. I highly recommend this book to everyone, and I am grateful to have discovered it through this class! #LAE3414sp19

“If you have no intention of loving or being loved, then the whole journey is pointless.” -the old doll

Adventurous story that highlights the love of friendship and perseverance.

Modern fantasy, 2006. Story of a rabbit named Edward Tulane who is owned by the most caring girl Abilene. Story of how Edward gets lost and goes through great journey to find his way back. Shows friendship and love. Has chapters with a picture on each chapter that foreshadows what object will be present.

This 2006 F, Mulitple Award winner, (B. Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction, and Christopher Award) is a true book worth a spot on every elementary bookshelf. Edward Tulane, beautiful but with a heart colder than his china, was a rabbit who was owned and love by Abilene. He thinks highly of himself and feels nothing, that is, until one day he is lost to the unknown.
Follow Edward on his journey: will he find a way to mend his broken china heart?

My daughter has been begging me to read this book since she had to read it this year in class. This is what she wrote on the inside, her own personal review. And I could not agree more. This book was incredibly powerful. Heartbreaking and sad. But also gloriously triumphant. Wonderful for kids and adults.

Day 1 of #AuginBooks18! Here are my "Anticipated August Reads." And holy shit I just realized Anthony Bourdain signed this. My daughter wants me to read Edward Tulane bc she loved it this year in 4th grade so that's up first!

@bookisglee

This was a favorite of mine as a child, but I fell in love with it again as my 9 year old granddaughter read it to me. This is such a beautiful story about a china bunny rabbit named Edward Tulane that spends his lifetime learning the true meaning of love. The writing was beautiful, lyrical at times. While there are some parts that may be sad for a younger child, the story overall is lovely. 5 fabulous stars from me

A short, simple but lovely read, this was recommended at a Reading for Pleasure course I attended recently. Such brilliant storytelling and an engaging cast of characters that stay with you long after the final page is turned.

This book, especially the audiobook, is dangerous. Kate DiCamillo brought me to tears numerous times while driving through traffic. Read at your own risk.

My 10 year old is reading this for school so, of course, I had to read it too! It was great! It brought tears to my eyes. I am glad they are reading it in 4th grade!

"Sarah Ruth spent the day in bed, holding Edward in her lap and playing with a box filled with buttons." Be thankful for what you have because others are not so fortunate...

Finch and I cuddled up with a cup of tea and read this sweet book. A quick read but one with lots of heart and endearing moments. I loved this book almost as much as I loved Tale of Despereaux. Definite pick. 💕💕💕 #catsoflitsy

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a heartfelt story written by Kate DiCamillo and illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. This novel is MF and won the Newbery Award. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Miraculous-Journey-of-Edward-Tulane-... is an awesome website for teachers that has lesson plans for the book. UDL: 7.1- optimize individual choice and autonomy,

"Edward knew what it was like to say over and over again the names of those you had left behind. He knew what it was like to miss someone. And so he listened. And in his listening, his heart opened wide and then wider still."

I am one of those who collects quotes. I‘d have to highlight this whole book yellow! It‘s full of amazing quotes. I know it is meant to be a children‘s book but it really should be for all! Learn & love through this gem!

I got home from my eclipse trip and find my #bibliophilebookexchange package. Thank you for the lovely picks! So many new authors I'm looking forward to digging into. @Hokey

Everything Kate DiCamillo writes is magical. She is my 12yo daughter's favorite author, & this upper elementary/middle grade book is one from her shelf that I've never read. Predictable, but it doesn't matter. Just lovely.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a heartwrenching book, esp Sara Ruth part :"(

"I am done with being loved," Edward told her. "It's too painful." "Pish," said the old doll. "Where is your courage?"
Such a sweet easy read that feels similar to the Velveteen Rabbit but maybe even more "real". I now feel like I can send this book onward and hope it makes someone's journey strong. PS. The illustrator was outstanding too!

"But in truth," said Bull, "we are going nowhere. That, my friend, is the irony of constant movement.

Because all at once, this book I bought for my now teen daughter seems necessary to read before I pass it forward. If I pass it forward...

My kids loved reading WONDER together in class. Today we begin EDWARD TULANE. :) #teachersoflitsy

If you were a fan of The Velveteen Rabbit you will love this one. 😍

My sweet Emma fell asleep reading last night :') Of course I had to take this picture before taking off her glasses. She's too cute!

I have been re-reading some of my favourite books lately. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is just as brilliant, beautiful and transformative as when I first read it.

So lovely.
