The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
Kate Dicamillo, Bagram Ibatoulline
- 2006 Horn Book-fiction winner
- 2009 YRCA-Junior nominee
- Score: 14.56
“Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart….”
Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.
And then, one day, he was lost.
Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes’ camp, from the bedside of an ailing child…
Yellow Elephant: A Bright Bestiary
- 2006 Horn Book-fiction honor
- Score: 6.56
Have you ever seen a yellow elephant, glowing in the jungle sun?
Have you seen a green frog—splash!—turn blue?
Or a red donkey throw a red-hot tantrum?
In this bright bestiary, poet Julie Larios and painter Julie Paschkis cast a menagerie of animals in brilliantly unexpected hues—encouraging us to see the familiar in surprising new ways.
