I have so many favorite books that it is really hard to decide. My latest favorite book, though is The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate Dicamillo. Edward Tulane is a china rabbit who is cold and vain, despite the devotion and love from his owner, 10-year-old Abilene Tulane. Then one day, Edward falls overboard on the Tulane family's ocean trip. He falls deeper and deeper into the ocean, and thus begins his journey meeting and living with a variety of characters: a fisherman and his wife, a hobo and his dog, two abused siblings. It is through his travels that Edward's cold heart melts; but then, as with many open hearts it breaks. The question is whether it will be able to mend again...

My favorite story is THREE GOOD DEEDS
because its a great story of obeying
adults.And like when you read that story it feels like someones teaching
you a lesson.Its about a little boy
who disobeys adults and a witch woman
puts a spell on him and he turns into
a goose.And he has to do three good
deeds to turn back to human.
My favorite book is The Three Little Javinas. It is a story of the three little pigs, but they are inb Mexico. Instead of a Big Bad Wolf, there is a coyote.
Wow. I see a pattern so far... I just checked out Three Good Deeds and will start reading it very soon. We don't have a copy of The Three Little Javelinas, but I will definitely check it out as well since there is a copy at Glenwood.
Speaking of books with titles that include the word "three"...(Three is my favorite number by the way) have any of you ever read The Three Questions by Jon J. Muth? I highly recommend it. It is based on a short story by Leo Tolstoy. You can ask your parents if they happen to have a copy of War and Peace by the Tolstoy. One day, maybe you guys can get started reading that! :)
