Description
The much-loved children's classic by Margery Williams,
now reimagined by David Litchfield as a gorgeous picture book for
the youngest readers
The Velveteen Rabbit is the perfect stuffed toy - soft, snuggly
and brand new. But he longs to be played with, so he can become
Real.
After his Boy takes him to bed one night, the pair become inseparable,
playing together from dawn to dusk. Rabbit thinks his heart
will burst from happiness. This is what being Real must feel
like...
But when the pair are separated through illness, a magical fairy
grants the wish of Rabbit's heart. Finally transformed into a
REAL Rabbit, he finds a new family, but never forgets his special
friend - after all, he was always real to the boy.
