Eve Leuzinger's Reviews > The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

A story about learning to be loved and not taking the smallest of things for granted. Edward Tulane is a china bunny rabbit that lives with his lovely girl Abilene- Edward takes his daily routine as expected and holds no value to his life. Until he is lost and falls to the depth of the sea.... This is a different stories and provides an insight into the world where we often only live through our own eyes.

As Edward is pushed and taken from person to person he learns something new about the world he lives in. From sacrifice to regret to family Edward learns something new from each person he meets and it is these that warm his heart and encourage him to remember. What makes this particularly poignant is the emotions and intensity of love Edward feels for each character. The lessons he learn form his character from the beginning to the end and the reader follows him in this sense and understands the importance of each value and character. For this reason, it would make a lovely book to share with KS2 children as part of a PSHCE project.

I feel that this book holds a lot of potential for children about learning the world around them and the challenges that all the people around them might be facing.
