Great authors are great authors regardless of their intended audience. Kate DiCamillo is a great author. I just finished The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Fantastic book. there are so many teaching points to this book that a teacher could probably spent all semester teaching with this book. Literary elements glore can be found in this book; Author studies, comparisions between Edward Tulane and the Velveteen Rabbit, voice, and first person narration are just a few..There is even a great journal topic taken from a quote form this book"How can a story end happily if there is no love?" Great topic.Edward Tulane is a china rabbit who is owned by a girl named Abilene, who loved him dearly and treated him with the utmost respect and care. One day, Edward is lost and goes on a remarkable journey and recieves a miracle; the miracle of love.
