  <default-description>A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love. &quot;Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart. . . .&quot; Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost. Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle &amp;#8212; that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[The girls and I just finished this book tonight. It was really good. It's the story of a little girl and her china rabbit, Edward. The rabbit becomes separated from his child and enters on an epic journey lasting many years, ending in a reuniting of sorts. Along the way, the rabbit has many sad as w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12341412">more...</a>]]></body>
