The Velveteen Rabbit

A picture book version of the classic story of a toy rabbit who longs to become real, and the boy whose love helps him realize his dream

A stuffed toy rabbit comes to life in Margery Williams' 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.
This classic tale has been charming children since its first publication in 1922.
