This is a book by Kate DiCamillo (also Because of Winn-Dixie) and The Amazing Journey of Edward Tulane. Although the book seems like its positioned for the younger set, it has a lot of very philiosphical questions raised in it. (Even Edward Tulane is the same, although simpler)
I highly recommend this author. She has an excellent narrative style, appealing characters, interesting situations, and so forth. Her books are now all being optioned for films, and its easy to see why. Winn-Dixie is an excellent book that didn't translate well onto the screen.
Despereaux is about a mouse in love with a Princess. Check it out.

Yes, let's stay on topic, please.
My family got the book on tape a while back, and it wasn't too bad. My brother and mom loved it, while I was not quite as enthralled. I think I simply didn't like the narrative style. _________________ I am a Shieldmaiden for Christ!
I was Nienor before Nienor was cool. *nods coolly*
Kudos to Kitoky for the fabulous signature set, and art credit to engelszorn.
Who wants to join me in bringing back the lady?
