This was another book that I have had in my kindle library for a long time and finally got round to reading. I'd probably have felt differently had I read it as a child but I found it too sentimental.

First sentence: THERE was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen.

Premise/plot: Do you know what it is to be real? One little Christmas bunny will learn this and plenty of other life lessons in Margery Williams' classic tale The Velveteen Rabbit.

The Velveteen Rabbit opens with a young boy receiving a rabbit for a Christmas present. All is lovely for the rabbit that first day. But the toy is quickly forgotten. He becomes one toy of many, many, many toys. He's not exactly special to the boy or the other toys. In fact, I'd say the other toys bully him a bit. All except for the Skin Horse, the oldest toy in the nursery. It is this horse that tells the Rabbit all about being real, what it takes to be real, what it feels like, how it changes you, etc.

"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." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." "I suppose you are real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin Horse only smiled. "The Boy's Uncle made me Real," he said. "That was a great many years ago; but once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always." (5-8)


My thoughts: The Velveteen Rabbit is one of my favorite Christmas books. I love the nursery magic. I love the ending. It was originally published in 1922. The story and illustrations in this edition are original. This is a beautiful edition of the book. One of the best I've seen.

The Velveteen Rabbit was published several years before A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner. Chances are if you enjoy one, you'll enjoy the other.

Do you have a favorite toy-come-to-life fantasy?

I read this as a child and use to read it to my youngest when she was younger. It is one of my favorite childhood books. :)

Meanwhile, back in my umpteenth childhood, another book I read for the first time...

This beautiful, classic children's story about a boy and his toy rabbit, who becomes Real, is sweet, sad, and magical.

[foof2you · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

What does it mean to be REAL? This is the question that the Velveteen Rabbit asks in this book. It is a question that maybe readers should ask themselves today in a world where, "What is real?" is being asked a lot these days.

[lgcullens · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

To many people this small story needs no introduction. I included it here because it was my daughter's favorite book. I read it so many times I pretty much knew it by heart.

The story chronicles a stuffed rabbit's desire to become real through the love of his owner. First published in 1922 it has been republished many times since.

If you haven't read this to your young children, you are missing some wonderful feelings.

Lovely children’s story book. It's considered a classic and I've finally read it. Simple tale of make believe, friendships and rabbits!

[deborahj2016 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

A true Classic. And now I can never get rid of my stuffed animals. Thanks.

[jjmcgaffey · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

I...hadn't realized just how short a story this was. It's a sweet little fairy story (literally, the fairy appears near the end to Make Him Real). A pleasant read, though there's not a lot there, at least on the surface.

“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 is the classic story of a boy and his stuffed velveteen rabbit. It’s about becoming Real in a story that has fascinated children of all ages. It’s a story of unconditional love and childhood magic.

This book, part of the Kohl’s Cares program, is an heirloom edition to be shared, to be read aloud, to be loved.

Highly recommended.

Formative, for me. Still makes me cry.

[linyarai · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

A great classic.

[regularguy5mb · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

One of my absolute favorite stories from childhood, and the last on my little trip down memory lane revisiting the books of my youth (those that I currently own, at least).

What can one say about the Velveteen Rabbit that hasn't been said already? It's so tender, and tragic, and beautiful, and sweet, and touching. It makes you cry both sad and happy tears. And those lovely illustrations by William Nicholson are just wonderful.

This particular edition, again from my childhood, is a beautiful hardcover in a slipcase. No idea where it came from (parents or a gift from parents' friends), but I know it was a constant favorite, and it remains one today.

Don Daily’s illustrations makes the classic, “Velventeen Rabbit” magical. I highly recommend this particular edition of the book.ww2

I read this when I was very small and could never get the story out of my head. It's sad and wonderful. Read it with a tissue at hand.

This is one of my absolute favorites. I recently shared this book with my son and I was so glad that be also loved it.

[helenliz_1 · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

Bought for a young relative, I didn't realise this was one to tug at the heart strings. Boy (the child remains unnamed) gets a stuffed rabbit for Christmas. Gradually the rabbit gets loved and, by the magic of the nursery, becomes Real. Lovely illustrations in a slightly old fashioned style.

[cyderry · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

What a lovely little book which tells of how a loved stuffed rabbit becomes "real" just because a child believes. I have several stuffed animals that I too believe are "real". They are my companions on quiet days and enjoy reading with me.

[kphotowrtr2 · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

Loved, loved, loved this childhood book ... What it truly means to be loved.

[shahnareads · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

I love this story. It's so sad and happy at the same time. A great kids books. Every child should have this read to them.


This part is my favourite part.

“What is REAL?" asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day... "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When [someone] loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.

"Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand... once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.”

This was always one of my favorite books. The wonderful rabbit who was such a good playmate for the boy. That Velveteen Rabbit is the essence of childhood, of faith and that naive innocence that treats everyone the same (toys and people) and who can believe that toys can be made real if you are just loved enough. And isn't that what magic is all about?

[heatherlinc · Calificación: 5 de 5 estrellas]

A delightful children's classic with beautiful illustrations to enhance the story.

I love this story. It's sad, but beautiful. The movie version made me cry like a baby.

[thebookmagpie · Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas]

Made me ruinously sad as a child and I'm pretty sure I didn't learn anything from it except not to get one of those horrible olden days plague-diseases.

BEST. BOOK. EVER.

[cpaavola-1 · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

This is a classic story about a toy rabbit who wants so much to become real. The rabbit is owned by a young boy who loves him very much and plays with him all the time. The rabbit learns from his friend the skin horse that toys can become real when they are loved and played with. Then one day the boy says that his rabbit it Real and that makes the bunny happy until he sees two actual rabbits and discovers that he isn't a live rabbit. Then the rabbit needs to be thrown out because the boy had been sick and he encounters a fairy who turns him into an actual rabbit and he is truly Real. This is a classic story that shows the imagination of a child and the great love children have for their toys, so much so, they sometimes seem real. This can start discussion about what makes something "real" How one person defines real may be different to someone else. A teacher could have a student journal about one of their favorite toys as a child and if it was Real to them or not. This book could be used in a unit on classic books, books on imagination or friendship. The illustrations in this book are the original artwork. There are only eighth illustrations and they are spread throughout the book but not on every page. Sometimes the picture comes before the text that is depicting or explaining it which can be confusing. The style of illustration is hand drawn ink and color sketches with minimal use of color. The colors that are used are mainly the primary colors or muted blues, brown and yellow hues. The illustrations have a messy, chaotic feel because the backgrounds aren't solid colors but almost scribbled in and it adds to the busyness of the picture.

This was one of my absolute favorite books when I was growing up....

This story is short and sweet while easy to understand so it stays with you even after so many years. The older you get and the more you mature the more the story will mean to you for you will be able to see the lesson that is being told.

The author has a beautiful way with words that bring the story to life whether it is the gentle fairy holding the Velveteen Rabbit, the other rabbits skipping in the woods or digging under the sheets. And the best voice I have found in the story is that of the old horse.

But the best part of the story is that it is real. I had a Real cat named Buttercup who was a last gift that I had received before my adoptive parents broke-up. And through the years with all the troubles, tears and pain that my sisters as well I went through she became just as Real to us and just as important in our own lives thus it is a memory-filled book for me.

Reissue of the classic as originally published in 1922 with the William Nicholson illustrations.

[rachelbowers · Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas]

A story sure to demonstrate how the power of love affects others. The velveteen rabbit is a new toy given a Christmas that gets tossed aside once other gifts are opened. Once the little boy becomes ill with scarlet fever his grandmother gives him the velveteen rabbit for comfort when another toy cant be found. It is also an important lesson on value.

[emilydrennan · Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas]

The Velveteen Rabbit is a story about a rabbit that a boy receives for Christmas. He opens the rabbit and loves it, but tosses it to the side once he opens more presents. The rabbit is put away in a cupboard and is often found on the floor of the nursery. He befriends a Skin Horse who explains to him that they more you are loved and played with by a child, the more real you become. The velveteen rabbit eventually gets the chance to be loved by the boy and has the opportunity to become real. This story is about how loving your toys gives them a purpose and makes them real for you. As an activity, each student could bring in their favorite toy and share it with the class.
