The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

a novel by Kate DiCamillo

Edward Tulane is a china rabbit of great elegance and no heart at all — until the day he is lost overboard, and the miraculous journey begins. Kate DiCamillo’s modern classic carries him from the ocean floor to a fisherman’s cottage, a hobo campfire, a scarecrow’s pole, and a dying girl’s arms, as the rabbit who loved no one learns — the long way — how to love. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel (27 chapters + Coda), each with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, an SAT/TOEFL-style test, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
