Plot Summary: Edward Tulane is a porcelain rabbit who lives on Egypt Street with an owner that loves and adores him-Abilene. Abilene always makes sure that Edward is dressed just right and looks perfect. She treats Edward as one of the family and makes sure that he is always included at all meals and outings. All Edward thinks about is how beautiful he is and he is quite full of himself. Sadly, one day Abilene boards a ship and Edward is lost overboard. This is the beginning of Edward's journey on the path to learning that there's more to life than just taking love, it should be about the giving.
