Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A stuffed toy rabbit (with real thread whiskers) comes to life in Margery Williams' timeless tale of the transformational 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. --This text refers to the Board book edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic story, wonderful for any generation, kid or adult., 17 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Velveteen Rabbit (Hardcover)
This is a classic tale of bunny who wishes to become real. With a little nursery magic and love, wonderful things can happen. This particular copy (Illustrated by Tien Ho) is my favorite because it is the copy that I grew up with. It is a great story to read to your child to show them the values that really matter in life. It is my favorite story and I will continue to read it to my children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to hand down, 3 Jan 2005
By L. J. Giddings "giddings31" (Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Velveteen Rabbit (The childrens classic edition) (Hardcover)
The velveteen rabbit is a book my daughter aged 5 and myself love equally; the story of a toy rabbit becoming real through the love of a little boy, transcending his tatty fur and worn out appearance to become a 'real' rabbit; it appeals to children who may imagine this scenario with their own beloved toys and it is a favourite for me because of its well written classic style, shameless use of good english and 'grown up' language and the corresponding illustrations. Buy this, inscribe the front inside cover and watch it become a family treasure.

This review is from: The Velveteen Rabbit (The childrens classic edition) (Hardcover)
A story which I used to read to my daughter at bedtime when she was young and which I know she will read to her children in the years to come. A wonderful story which passes the test of time!

I found this book really sad. I won't spoil the story and yes, it does have a happy ending, of a sorts, I cried buckets. I couldn't read this book to a child.
