by Kate DiCamilloSummary: Edward is a beautiful china rabbit, with real fur ears, and a huge ego. His arrogance is shocking, and he believes the world owes him. The girl who owns him, Abilene, adores him--he's her favorite toy. One day on a boat trip, Edward is snatched from Abilene's hands and falls deep, deep into the ocean, where he stays for many years, until he is found by a fisherman. Through the years, Edward is lost and found by many people, cared for lovingly, and horribly mistreated. With each passing year, and each new owner, Edward learns another lesson. Will his cold little heart ever warm?
My thoughts: This is one of those beautiful stories that stays with you forever. Even though Edward is unbearably snobby, it's easy to see that he is simply young and foolish at the beginning of the tale. His journey truly is miraculous.
