In the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, he is a snobby china rabbit in the beginning. One day he gets lost at sea, and then he gets picked up by two fishermen. This rabbit is made out of china: china legs, china arms, china paws, and china head.
I really liked this book because it was about a rabbit trying to find a family. My favorite part was when he got lost at sea, but he was rescued by two old fishermen. He found many people to watch after him. One character that I found interesting was Lolly. She didn’t like Edward, so she threw Edward in the garbage. Lolly reminded me of a bully because bullies stuff people in garbage cans. Edward changes at the end because he is not a snobby china rabbit like in the beginning. I felt a little sad because he kept trying to find a family, and kept finding love, and then lost it.
I recommend this book because it really is perfect for all ages to listen to. Fourth graders and up should read it. Younger kids wouldn’t understand the words that well.
