The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo
3.0
Definitely not my favorite DiCamillo book.
Edward is a china rabbit. He is well made, has a wardrobe of spiffy rabbit suits, and is more than a little full of himself. Most of the action of the book is a series of misfortunes that befall Edward, seemingly as karmic punishment for his failure to love his first owner with sufficient ardor.
I think this is a terrible lesson for children. A satisfying, fulfilling love is not blind devotion.
