About this ebook

The #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestseller -- now in a digest edition (Age 7 and up)

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 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 bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way, we are shown a miracle -- that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

This beloved classic is now available in an accessible digest edition with black-and-white interior illustrations.

Ratings and reviews

This book was read to me in 4th grade (10 years ago). I don't remember much but I did like it at the time

I thoroughly enjoyed how thoughtful, curious, and sweet this book is. The characters have a special place in my heart. The themes will delight and warm the hearts of readers both young, old, and in between.

Amazing book! I have it in hardcover! My cousin sent me it and she said that it was amazing. I just thought "well, whatever." It stayed on my night stand untill I needed a book to read on a road trip. I picked up the book and read. It was impossible to put down! It even made me cry on a very sad part (which I will not spoil!) AMAZING! DONT DOUBT TO DOWNLOAD IT!!!
