The Velveteen Rabbit

by Margery Williams
Foreword by: Toni Raiten-D'Antonio

Health Communications, Inc. | September 17, 2005 | Hardcover

The Rabbit in the stocking isn''t as expensive as the other toys: hes covered in velveteen. On Christmas Day, the Boy enjoys his new toy but then quickly forgets and neglects him. Shunned and unsure, the Velveteen Rabbit questions his worth. Should he even becalled a real toy? An answer comes from his friend, the Skin Horse: Real isnt how you are made. . . .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. The Velveteen Rabbit''s journey through love and loneliness to become who he was really meant to be is a story that inspires us all on our own journey to Real. The Velveteen Rabbit is a timeless tale of friendship, love, acceptance and honesty. When the world seems uncertain, Margery Williams''s classic story reminds all of us what really matters. The type in this edition has been reset to emphasize the poetry of the language and to bring out the depth of sentiment in the story. William Nicholson''s 1922 illustrations, which have delighted generations of readers, are rendered in full-color just as they appeared in the original edition of The Velveteen Rabbit. Together words and pictures create a world so much like our own, and yet so delightfully magical.

    A beautiful story

    I love this book. I always have. The poor rabbit is a loyal friend and Real to his little boy. His grown-ups, after the boy fights a long bout of scarlet fever, decide that everything in the boy's room must be burned. Thankfully, the Nursery Magic Fairy saves him. I won't say more as it is a true joy to read even as an adult. It's just a good, loving memory of childhood for me. Definitely a must-have for any small child's library. I own the paperback and the hardcover.

    Oh.. and I mustn't forget. This is my favorite version due to the artwork by Donna Green. If you don't fall in love with the story right away, the pictures themselves will take you away to a more innocent time. A definite must-see.
