Items related to The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real
He was only a stuffed toy bunny, made of velveteen, buttons and sawdust. He lived in the closet with the other toys--until the day he was found and the magic began.
A magic that was stirred by love--the love of a young boy. And it was this kind of love that cold make the Velveteen Rabbit real. But how real?
He was still only a toy, who would grow old and be thrown away. He wasn't like the wild rabbits in the woods, who hopped and danced and wiggled their noses. Even with all the love and magic in the world, could the Veleveteen Rabbit ever be really real?

Review:
A stuffed toy rabbit (with real thread whiskers) comes to life in Margery Williams's timeless tale of the transformative power of love. Given as a Christmas gift to a young boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other toys, waiting for the day when the Boy (as he is called) will choose him as a playmate. In time, the shy Rabbit befriends the tattered Skin Horse, the wisest resident of the nursery, who reveals the goal of all nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. "'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. '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.'" This sentimental classic--perfect for any child who's ever thought that maybe, just maybe, his or her toys have feelings--has been charming children since its first publication in 1922. (A great read-aloud for all ages, but children ages 8 and up can read it on their own.)
