About The Velveteen Rabbit:
A stuffed toy rabbit (with real thread whiskers) comes to life in Margery Williams's
timeless tale of the transformative power of love. Given as a Christmas gift to a young
boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other toys, waiting for the
day when the Boy will choose him as a playmate. In time, the shy Rabbit befriends the
tattered Skin Horse, the wisest resident of the nursery, who reveals the goal of all
nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. "'Real isn't
how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child
loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you
become Real.'" This sentimental classic--perfect for any child who's ever thought
that maybe, just maybe, his or her toys have feelings--has been charming children
since its first publication in 1922. (description by Amazon.com staff)
Reading level: Ages 4-8. A great
read-aloud for all ages, but children ages 8 and up can read it on their own.
