The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Kate DiCamillo

We read this delightful novel aloud when my oldest was in second grade, and I can’t wait to read it with my little.  Edward Tulane is a sophisticated china rabbit with a tail and ears made of real rabbit fur. He wears fancy suits and has a gold pocket watch, which his adoring owner, 10-year-old Abilene, winds each day. When Abilene’s family embarks on a voyage to England on the Queen Mary, naturally Abilene takes Edward along. But when a scuffle with two young brothers ends with Edward going overboard, the endearing Edward begins an unexpected journey filled with new faces, new places and love lost and found.
