We have a shortage of class sets of books in our school. It is very important to me that each of my students are able to get a copy of a piece of literature in their hands to foster a love for reading. My students are finishing up their first chapter book and can't wait to find out what tale we will begin next. I know my students will fall in love with this tale as they embark on this journey of love, lose, and forgiveness. "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" is the perfect book for our upcoming literature unit where we will take a close look at theme and focus on using specific and relevant evidence from the text in our discussions.
