The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Product Information

I picked up The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane after a high recommendation from a friend on Goodreads. The story soars because of DiCamillo’s lyrical use of language and her understanding of universal yearnings. Draw children into the text by discussing what we understand by the word ‘precious’ - many first thoughts are likely to relate to monetary value. The story begins by introducing Edward Tulane, a china rabbit made for a wealthy little girl named Abilene. Now, I fear, if I re-read them, I might suspect that the author was deliberately playing with my emotions.

But by that time, even jaded readers won't mind -- they'll be too swept up in the rich and powerful story, enhanced by the gorgeous drawings and paintings by Ibatoulline. Ever since, word on The Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane adaptation has gone quiet, though the book has since been turned into an opera titled Edward Tulane. I have included most of the resources required for the unit along with an extensive notebook file and session plans.

Under federal law, if you knowingly misrepresent that online material is infringing, you may be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury and civil penalties, including monetary damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees. Going beyond the narrative will also add to comprehension and provide a doorway into Edward’s world.

Set up a ‘think, pair, share’ activity, where children think about the meaning of the word precious on their own (perhaps 30 seconds), then explain their thoughts to a partner, before joining up with another pair to share and construct joint understanding. Edward is passed from hand to hand of a succession of life-altering characters, such as a hobo and his dog and a four-year-old girl with tuberculosis and her brother. The story of a haughty china rabbit who learns what it means to love and lose on a series of adventures after he's tossed over the rail of an ocean liner.

I knew it needed to be special more than anything because who knows how long it'll be before I reach 500 reviews? Now meet Edward, an older and wiser rabbit, who has survived many indignities, but now understands what it is to love and be loved.
