The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Ohhhh this book makes me CRY. God, it's amazing. Read it as a kid and even now I'm filled with such emotion. It's the story of a China Rabbit named Edward who is spoiled rotten, and he knows it. He's arrogant and uppity (though, of course, he can't speak or move, he just thinks). But after getting tossed off a cruise ship in an accident, he goes through so much - from family to family, learning about humans and the difference in their lives. He feels emotion and he loves and he mourns. And it all comes full circle. God this is one of the best children's books in the world.

And that last scene in the shop.... oh god, I'm a mess.
