Some of the classes sketches of Edward Tulane

Edward Tulane- my thoughts by Rebecca V

My favourite part of the story was when after a matter of years Edward Tulane and Abilene met again. I loved this part of the story because it was a happy ending and I think happy endings are nice endings.

Edward Tulane by Ben

I really liked this story,especially the part when Abilene came into the shop with her 5 year old daughter. Abilene told her daughter to look around. When Maggie(Abilene's daughter) stopped in front of Edward Tulane and asked her mum if she could buy him, Abilene recognised Edward and Edward recognised Abilene. Edward was going home.

Me and my class have read a book called "Edward Tulane". This book has a motto and I am going to tell you about it.
"The heart breaks and breaks
and lives by breaking.
It is necessary to go
through dark and deeper dark
and not to turn."
When we finished the book we did a sketch of the tall, china rabbit, Edward Tulane and this is a picture of my sketch.

My favourite part of this story is when Abilene comes into the shop when she all grown up and buys Edward.
It is a great book!!!

By Laura

My favourite part of this story was when Maggie (Abilene's daughter) went into the doll shop and found Edward on a shelf and started hugging Edward. This was a very happy ending because Maggie was the daughter of Abilene and Abilene was Edward's original owner.

During this story Edward experienced many feelings for the first time in his life. When he found someone that loved him, he would feel happy and when he lost someone he would feel very sad. I have experienced many feelings like Edward. I feel very sad when I lose someone but you just have got to open your heart for someone else.
Edward was very brave and he never gave up hope. He always looked on the bright side of life. I think that is the perfect thing to do when you have lost someone.

The Story

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 treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.

And then, one day, he was lost.
