When the Velveteen Rabbit first arrives in the nursery, he's snubbed by the other toys. But the Rabbit soon makes friends with the Skin Horse who explains how toys can become 'real',if only they are loved enough. But when Boy is ill with Scarlet Fever, and Rabbit is thrownaway, Rabbit finally discovers what it truly means to be real.
"When a child loves you . . . REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
The Velveteen Rabbit longs to be Real, just like his wise old friend the Skin Horse. But being Real isn't about how you're made, it's something that happens to you, and with a small boy's love and some strange and wonderful nursery magic, the little Rabbit's dreams might just come true . . .
Complete and unabridged, this beautifully illustrated edition of Margery Williams' classic children's story, first published in 1922, will win the heart of anyone who believes in the power of love.
