Details
Synopsis
Edward, a finely turned-out, silk-suited rabbit made of china, with luxurious rabbit-fur ears, is quite self-interested until he experiences the adventure of his life. Beloved and cared for by Abilene, a girl whose grandmother is the only other person who appreciates him, Edward leads a comfortable, sheltered life. But when he goes astray, Edward learns that there is more to life than his own reflection and a warm bed. With sumptuous, full-color illustrations. Kate DiCamillo's THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX won the 2004 Newbery Medal. A 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year. A 2006 New York Times Notable Book.

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."
