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 (as he is called) 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. (A great read-aloud for all ages, but children ages 8 and up can read it on their own.)
Product Description
The Rabbit in the stocking isn't as expensive as the other toys: he’s covered in velveteen. On Christmas Day, the Boy enjoys his new toy but then quickly forgets and neglects him. Shunned and unsure, the Velveteen Rabbit questions his worth. Should he even becalled a real toy? An answer comes from his friend, the Skin Horse: "Real isn’t how you are made. . . .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." The Velveteen Rabbit's journey through love and loneliness to become who he was really meant to be is a story that inspires us all on our own journey to Real. The Velveteen Rabbit is a timeless tale of friendship, love, acceptance and honesty. When the world seems uncertain, Margery Williams's classic story reminds all of us what really matters. The type in this edition has been reset to emphasize the poetry of the language and to bring out the depth of sentiment in the story. William Nicholson's 1922 illustrations, which have delighted generations of readers, are rendered in full-color just as they appeared in the original edition of The Velveteen Rabbit. Together words and pictures create a world so much like our own, and yet so delightfully magical.

 displeased August 18, 2010
CG (Poughquag, NY)
I received my order in good time, however it was not what they described. The condition of one book (velveteen rabbit)was far worse than described, with pencil markings on the page, and the other book (mother west wind) had an inked inscription on the inside page . Neither of these conditions were mentioned in the description. I tried to contact the sellers via their phone number when I received the books, to alleviate any bad feelings with the purchase, and they never responded. There was an automated phone answer that did not even mention their business name and they never responded to my messages. I left messages on three consecutive days.I will not do business with them again. I had to call Amazon to get the situation rectified.

I read this for the first time at age 49. What a beautiful, timeless story. Easily one of the top 10 childrens books of all time.
 "New" but not so much... May 24, 2010
Adel (PA)
The book was listed as "new," but pages are crinkled from having been thumbed through many many times. I absolutely love the illustration in this particualr Velveteen Rabbit, but am disappointed the pages are not fresh and crisp as it should be in a "new" book.
I LOVE this book! May 10, 2010
A caring fan
I had this book years ago and I loved it! It somehow got given away with a bunch of other things, so here I am, 50 years old and buying it for myself. I have no children of my own to share it with, but I have shared the story with other kids I have known over the years. My seventh Christmas, I got my own Velveteen Rabbit, except that mine was a stuffed Tiger. I loved this thing to death, played with it and loved most of the fur off of it. I still have him to this day and he sits on my bed. To others he might look like a dirty, raggdy stuffed animal, but to me he is as beautiful today as he was when I first got him, all those years ago. I highly recommend this book for children AND adults.

This was one of my favorite stories as a child. I bought this book to read to my son when he is born. But for a children's book it had like four pictures. It could have used some more.
