We only bought this at the recommendation of my daugter's teacher. Originally, my 10-year old daughter wanted to take (what she thought would be) the easy way out and read Diary of a Wimpy Kid for her book report. She thought she was sly because most of those books are pictures anyway, so it wouldn't be much reading. Her teacher said she would allow that, but recommended that she try this book instead. As soon as this book was delivered, my daughter started reading. After a few pages, she commented how incredibly sad this book was, and I thought that was it. I didn't think she'd even give it a chance. Needless to say, she finished the book and LOVED IT! She was having a really hard time getting enough substance out of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book to write a book report about, but once she read the Tulane book, the report just flowed out of her. It was amazing. She loved the book, and I think she got something out of it. I feel like she learned about loyalty and appreciation for the people who care for you.

Because of WinnDixie Kate DiCamillo 0732483006056 Books Reviews

You don't have to have a child to read this book. If you do, though, read it together.

It is a wonderful book with an uplifting message how everyone has loneliness in them. But, you can get over loneliness and help others get over their loneliness without realize you are creating a web of friendships of people who then become friends with each other.

Have a party, invite me. I'll bring the potato salad and juggle.
I had to get this book for a college course on children's literature, and this is now one of my favorite books.

I read it I one sitting, and i think any child with a love of reading aged 8and up could read it fairly easily.

This book is such a gem. I wish i had gotten the hardback version, but i had no idea how much i would love it.

This is a book i will read over and over. Its about love, loss, perseverance, being strong in the face of helplessness, and hope. But it's much more than that.

It is beautifully written, and has a perfect ending.
I have read this book to all 3 of my kids over the years (multiple times to each of them). My oldest is 19 and in college and my youngest is 9. I've read it so much I think I could recite it with my eyes shut in places. The story is captivating and heartwarming. Even though things change and life takes you in directions you had not planned, and even when nothing seems to be in your control, it's reassuring to know you always find your way back home. Each time I read it, I pick up on more and more of the little details that foreshadow the story and tie it together. Love this author. Am buying this again for my niece's daughter now who is 8. This is the PERFECT bedtime story. LOVE IT!
This book is as close to perfect as I've found. The story does what fiction does best- draws the reader in, busts their heart wide opens, and leaves them a little changed by the end. DiCamillo explores what we all long to feel and understand- love- and she does so in a way that a child can grasp perhaps better than the adult reading it to them. But adults can get this story too. The characters are striking, and the events haunting to anyone who has felt love and loss. Be careful reading this book if you have a heart- you may find it.
With tears in my eyes, I write this review, as I have just finished The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. This book was suggested to me by . We have 12 grandchildren and they are all avid readers.
This book is a children's book, a lesson in life and loving, tells of heart break and loss, of being selfish and then knowing what real love means. And it also shows us to appreciate all that happens in our life and the people that we meet and our experiences, as they help us to grow and be what we should be.
Another teacher recommended this book to me and as a Kate DiCamillo fan, I purchased two so that I could read it aloud to my class this year. My class LOVED this read aloud and talk about it constantly, even still, after it's been about a month since we finished it and have moved onto reading Tiger Rising (also recommend that book by Kate DiCamillo especially for studying symbolism). My kids were really bored with the first two chapters of this book and then they were HOOKED instantly. We used the book to study characters and it was perfect for that purpose. There are so many characters and Edward changes beautifully throughout the book.
When your 8 1/2 year old granddaughter runs to you and says, "This is the best book you'll ever read, Grandmom. Now here, read it" -- well you know that's what you must do. I was expecting a silly rabbit story, big font, short words. I was so, so wrong. I began that evening and could hardly put it down at bedtime! The writing is excellent and the characters are engaging. There were some words that I was sure Audrey would not have understood. And the depth of the characters is beyond a 2nd grader's understanding. A teacher read this to her enriched language arts class and thus was able to explain some of the deeper meanings. As I neared the ending of the book, I kept a tissue close by as I feared for yet another disaster. For my granddaughter and for me it will be a reference point to which we can return again and again through the years and peel back even more layers of this marvelous gem of a book. Thank you, my precious Audrey for inviting me on the journey.
