The accompanying sketch illustrations are stunning. I would recommend this book to anyone experiencing a loss; it would also serve as a gentle tale for young children who unfortunately are going through or have gone through an event. ( ![]() Favorite book I would check out in my elementary school library. I would also run to recheck it out every chance I possibly got. Wonderful but heart-wrenching story of a lost, loved china bunny, much in the vein of Hitty: Her First Hundred Years, but for a modern audience. I read this for an older elementary school age book club at work, and liked it a lot more than I expected to. I don't know why I didn't think I'd like it, but it ended up feeling very much like one of those classic books from my childhood -- one of those stories that stays with you long after you've read it. This novel makes for an outstanding read-aloud for young readers! The novel starts out with a China rabbit whose name is Edward Tulane. He is loved by his first family who owned him-but especially by a little girl named Abeline. The story revealed Edwards thoughts as different events were happening in his life, although he was not alive with characteristics of a human (except thinking and feeling). This story is interesting because of this fact but also because it goes into depth regarding his thoughts and feelings throughout the story. At first, Edward found great distaste for things Abeline would do to Edward and ways in which she would treat him and talk about him. But as the story goes on and he loses Abeline, he encounters various others who take Edward as their own possession. He merely observed and revealed his thoughts, but never could he admit that he loved any of his owners...until the end of the story after he had endeared various traumatic events that brought him to realization that he really did miss Abeline and his other owners and longed for the days when someone would love him again. If reading this to young children, a note might be added that there are some words in which you might want to omit as you are reading, that might not be appropriate for certain age groups. Overall, it is a great read! Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorialsContingut aTé una guia del professorPremisDistinctionsNotable Lists
Edward Tulane, a cold-hearted and proud toy rabbit, loves only himself until he is separated from the little girl who adores him and travels across the country, acquiring new owners and listening to their hopes, dreams, and histories. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
