I’m currently reading Kate DiCamillo’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane and am disappointed. I was looking for a read-aloud to encourage teachers, but this is far from it. I especially had high hopes since her “dear reader” story was engaging and Booklist’s Ilene Cooper said, “This will be a pleasure to read aloud.”
Why? Too slow to start? Too sad? The flow is just awkward to me. I do think this is a great book for parent-child reading and an excellent starting point for discussion on loss of pets.
