Industry Reviews
"There will be inevitable comparisons of Edward Tulane to THE VELVETEEN RABBIT, and Margery Williams's classic story can still charm after 83 years. But as delightful as it is, it can't match the exquisite language, inventive plot twists and memorable characters of DiCamillo's tale...Ibatoulline's illustrations are simply wonderful...."
Publishers Weekly (12/12/2005)
"Somewhere between fairy tale and fable, DiCamillo spins the tale of Edward, transformed by the lives he touches. The reader will be transformed too. Sumptuous gouache illustrations complement the old-fashioned, dramatic narrative."
Kirkus (01/15/2006)
"This achingly beautiful story shows a true master of writing at her very best...The tender look as the changes from arrogance to grateful loving is perfectly delineated...An ever-so-marvelous tale."
(02/01/2006)
"DiCamillo's latest novel...may well be her best...[S]he is a refreshingly graceful storyteller with a finely tuned ear for the discerning detail...However, one reading is hardly enough to savor the rich philosophical nuances of DiCamillo's story. I think I will go read it again right now."
