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.) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
