Some of my kindergarten come in first thing and ask, "Are we reading about Edward today?" This is music to my ears. 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.
I thought is would be fun for the kids to blog with the help of our Rainbow Valley parents about this wonderful book. So, beginning today I am going to post a question or a statement about the story, and I encourage all responses. Will you be the first?
(If you have questions about how to respond send me an E-mail.)
QUESTION #1
Who was Edward's first owner? How did he lose his first owner?
Edward's first owner was Abilene. The bullies threw him off the boat into the ocean head first. He sunk all the way down to the bottom of the ocean.
