by Kate DiCamilloI have read several books by Kate DiCamillo and loved them all. This is no exception!
This is the story of Edward Tulane, a china rabbit. A child's toy. He begins his life as a cold-hearted and proud toy living with a little girl. He does not know how to love. Until he looses the little girl. Throughout the years, from one home to another, Edward learns to love a little more from the hurt involved in each loss. The story ends with Edward spending years on the shelf of an old doll store, waiting for someone to buy (love) him. He says he never wants to love again because it just hurts too much! I won't spoil the ending, but it couldn't have been a more perfect ending!
This book had me on the verge of tears many times. Not that it was so sad. It was just so sweet! It's meant for children, but as an adult, I enjoyed it immensely! And you will too!
5 out of 5 stars.
