It made me cry twice!
My teacher in 4th grade read it to us, she told us it was her favorite book ever, so we listened to her read it.
At the end of the story, my teacher cried even though she had read it so many times, and half of the girls I'm my class jumped up and screamed the girls name, (wasn't her name Abiline?) and all the girls starting crying. I was one of them.
Then a few weeks later, I checked it out of the library and read it at home. I cried AGAIN at the end!
I love it so much.
My second favorite book in the world!

Boo

What do you mean by boo?

Lovely book innit

I looked forward to reading this book because, as the review on goodreads of Edward Tulane says, Kate DiCamillo is an incomparable children's author, and I have loved and cried over The Tale of Despereaux and The Tiger Rising in the middle of the Borders Cafe before. Edward's journey is miraculous in that the little china rabbit from which the book gets its name learns to love out of his many losses, which starts with losing his straw hat and ends with losing his hardened heart. Take the velveteen rabbit, make him more fragile by making him the China rabbit, put in Kate DiCamillo's voice behind every word, and you have a new classic for children.

"I'm done with being loved," Edward told her. "I'm done with loving. It's too painful." . . .

"Open your heart," she said gently. "Someone will come. Someone will come for you. But first you must open your heart."
The door closed. The sunlight disappeared.
Someone will come.
Edward's heart stirred. He thought, for the first time in a long time, of the house on Egypt Street and of Abilene winding his watch and then bending toward him and placing it on his left leg, saying, "I will come home to you."
No, no, he told himself. Don't believe it. Don't let yourself believe it.
But it was too late.
Someone will come for you.
The China rabbit's heart had begun, again, to open.

That's not the end of the story, but it is such an important passage for so many people to read. I needed to read it the other day when I sat there in Borders once again, tearing up. I'll need to read it again someday, maybe soon. And I think it's worth it for most anyone to take 30 minutes at the most, sit down, and read about how a China rabbit learns to love.

I have read this book at least 5 times, and have cried like a baby every time. If I even talk about this book to people, I get weepy. Last week I had to give a book talk -- I chose this book, and what did I do? You guessed it -- tears! Love this book so much!

It's a sad/good book

i agree with all of you if you said that this book was a good book

Listened so did not see the color plates. Ann Patchett is friendly with the author and recommends this one as her best in These Precious Things.

Huh that was way too much I not gonna read all that sorry
