This was a book that I read as a child and loved and one that I still do love. It is a children's book, so perhaps rather easy to read but still contains good lessons on being loved, loving, and the pain that may be a part of this. It's a very sweet story.

This was a sweet story. If I was sharing it with younger audiences I might break down some of the language (ex. hobo) just to make sure kids are updated on how things changed since nearly 20 years ago, but a fantastic tale!

I put on the audiobook while painting, telling myself I’d only paint for an hour or so. I found myself lost in Edward’s journey and I couldn’t go to bed until I heard the end. What a sweet and beautiful tale! Kate DiCamillo never fails to tug on my heart!

Saw this book on many lists - had really high hopes. It just didn't quite work, couldn't imagine it really keeping a child's interest and could be a good readaloud if the reader was exceptional.

Beautiful writing, settings and narration in the audiobook that we listened to on a long drive up north. Sort of felt inspired by The Velveteen Rabbit.
