The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is one of my favorite books to read to students. Edward is a porcelain rabbit who cannot talk or move, but we can read his inner thoughts. He is moved from person to person in this captivating journey. Watch the book trailer below and see why this is the perfect book for you and / or your students!
