The book tells the story of a toy, sawdust-filled rabbit who wishes with all his heart to become real. The message contained in this book is poignant, heart-warming and touching, and one that you will never foreget as long as you live. It is a story of beauty, wonder and love.

The Velveteen Rabbit - the much-loved tale of one stuffed animal's quest to become Real - has been a favorite since its debut in 1922. The simple story of a neglected Christmas present that surfaced from a nursery full of toys to become a boy's favorite and cherished friends, The Velveteen Rabbit affirms the power of love. The Rabbit learns that "When a child loves you...then you become Real." Finely illustrated with original watercolors by Robyn Officer, The Velveteen Rabbit is a blend of art and story that children will love to be a part of, again and again.
