"Di awal buku, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Edward lebih tertarik pada dirinya sendiri daripada dia dari orang lain. Dia kelinci yang sangat baik; dia dikonstruksi dengan sangat baik, dan dia memiliki lemari pakaian luar biasa. Dia sombong, dan dia tidak peduli apakah Abilene mencintainya atau tidak. Ketika perjalanan berlangsung, ketika dia berpindah dari satu tangan ke tangan yang lain, dia belajar apa artinya mencintai. Dia semakin basah kuyup, dan pakaiannya hilang; namun dia menjadi lebih baik dalam jiwa dan hati daripada dia di awal perjalanan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In the beginning of the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Edward is more enamored of himself than he is of anybody else. He's a very fine rabbit; he's been constructed incredibly well, and he has a wardrobe of amazing clothing. He's arrogant, and he doesn't care whether Abilene loves him or not. As the journey progresses, as he gets passed from hand to hand, he learns what it means to love. He gets more and more bedraggled, and his clothing is lost; yet he becomes finer in soul and heart than he was at the beginning of the journey.
