Alice Liddle asked this question about The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane: (A Heartwarming Tale of a China Rabbit's Quest for Love & Belonging - A Middle-Grade Chapter Book for Kids Ages 7-10 in Grades 2-5):
Does the fact that I'm afraid of China dolls affect how I will like this book? ._.

Readers of this book will feel for the main character for who he is and who he becomes and nothing else. However, even though the character is not really "alive"... The main character is a doll and can do nothing bad to humans, but because it is the main character it cannot be a completely inanimate doll. Therefore, this china doll "shows emotions and other human characteristics... Are you afraid of dolls that are "alive" or of the idea of china dolls looking at you and kind of being alive?... If that is the case, this book might not be for you, if not, you should be fine. Now, the book have pictures, in some of them you cannot tell the bunny is made out of china, but in others you will definitely noticed the material he is made of, that might be the part that could cause a conflict with your fear. I would check the pictures first, and if you are okay with the illustrations I think you will enjoy the book very much. Good luck! (less)
