Once there was a china rabbit and his ears were made out of real fur.The china rabbit was once loved by a little girl. He went on a ocean journey and fell overboard. He was rescued by a fisherman. The fisherman wife fixed him and their daughter threw him in the garbage. He traveled along time with the hobos and worked for a short time as scarecrows. A boy took Edward to his little sister but she was sick The rabbit loved the little girl and watched her die. The rabbit went with the boy and danced on the street of Memhis. He was broken in a diner and was later put together by a doll mender. The rabbit says he would never make the mistake of loving again. He stays on the shelf a long time. The old doll tells him he must open his heart and someone will come for you.

My thoughts: I like how Edward has lots of adventures. Edward meets new people . Edward goes to different places. I like how the story ended. I would tell somebody else to read the book.

Christian perspective: Edward is loved by many people in the story. He decides not to love anymore because it hurts . He learns that he needs to hope and love and someone will come. God loves us and He wants us to love others
