The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane | Kate DiCamillo, Bagram Ibatoulline

pick

Why yes, I'd like my heart ripped out, stomped on and handed back please. 😭💔

We met Edward, a terribly fine doll who's a bit full of himself and not really capable of caring for anyone. He gets lost and discovers what it's like to love and lose and grieve and find love again.

Next Thursday, we will be without my grandmother for 3 years and this book just wrecked me.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane | Kate DiCamillo, Bagram Ibatoulline

Got in early to work today & I'm trying to get some reading in. The tears have been so close to the surface these past few days and this put me over the edge first thing in the morning.

When You Reach Me | Rebecca Stead

I really was a reading snob as a kid and I cheated myself out of so many great books! This was SPECTACULAR!! I get a headache thinking about time travel but I think I'm at a 6th grade level. Miranda starts getting strange letters from someone which causes her to rethink everything, even reality itself! #Top100KidLit

Michael_Gee Omg!! I loved this book, too. I read it as an adult when I was teaching in Korea. 2y

IamIamIam @Michael_Gee It's surprisingly mature for a book about 12 year olds! Lol, I'm so glad you got to enjoy it as well! Teaching in Korea sounds like an incredible opportunity! 2y

youneverarrived I read this for a children‘s literature course and loved it! 2y

Chrissyreadit I loved this book too. And I read so many books as an adult that I can‘t believe we‘re not put in my hands as a child! 2y

IamIamIam @Chrissyreadit I totally get it!!! I'm just glad I finally found it! 2y

Love That Dog | Sharon Creech

A cute, quick listen on my way to work today! Poetry is hard until you find something you really feel passionate about. Jack finds this out, along with the fact that all poems are subjective. Some you feel deep down, some just miss the mark. 💜 #Top100KidLit

The Mouse and the Motorcycle | Beverly Cleary

What a cute story about the power of believing! I'm so sorry I never read this as a kid but I think I was more Team Judy Blume & turned my nose up at Beverly Cleary. Really fun way to start my year! #Top100KidLit
