The Velveteen Rabbit
Description
A beautiful keepsake edition of one of the most beloved classics of all time.
What does it mean to be Real?
When the Velveteen Rabbit first arrives at the nursery, he doesn’t know the answer. Soon he is befriended by the Skin Horse, who tells him that “When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” Thus begins the beloved story of a stuffed bunny made real by the love of a child, a tale treasured by generations of readers since its original publication more than 100 years ago.
