Edward has the most elegant of clothes and lives a fanciful life with Abilene.

His miraculous journey begins from the bottom of the sea and ends with a change from the bottom of his heart.If you're a fan of author Kate DiCamillo, you will not be disappointed reading about Edward. It could easily earn her a third Newbery Medal or Honor.

Mrs. Brownlee read this book to our class. We thought this was a good adventure for a china rabbit. We enjoyed hearing about the different people that found Edward. The ending of the story was unpredictable. We thought the book was spectacular!
