📖 Description
‘What is REAL?’ asked the Rabbit one day…
‘Real isn’t how you are made,’ said the Skin Horse.
It’s a thing that happens to you…’
Things are not easy for the Velveteen Rabbit at first. He is a simple toy, owned by a Boy who has lots of other—and more exciting—toys to play with. His only friend is the Skin Horse, who is very wise and tells him what it means to be Real.
Life becomes much better for the Velveteen Rabbit when the Boy starts to love him; but then the Boy becomes sick, and danger looms for the little toy rabbit. What will happen to him when the doctor decides to clean away all the germs in the house? And can the Velveteen Rabbit truly become Real?
This classic story by Margery Williams, published in 1922, imparts the timeless message that toys need not be expensive or modern to be appreciated. Through giving and receiving love, even a commonplace stuffed animal can become real in the eyes of a child. This Kindle version includes a free audio recording, read by a mother and daughter, is dedicated to Barbara Bear, who is real. Edited, with full color pictures and notes for easy comprehension by children of all ages.
