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.)

Meryl Streep reads Margery Williams's gentle story of a stuffed bunny who becomes real through the love of a child in this 25-minute video version of the classic 1922 tale. A Christmas gift that is ignored, then beloved, and then abandoned, the rabbit with the pink sateen ears comes to love the boy who takes him everywhere and through that love finds literal rebirth. Academy Award-winning actress Streep doesn't disappoint as she liltingly brings the toy rabbit to life--with the help of the nursery magic fairy. Streep's reading is complemented by George Winston's music and soft illustrations by David Jorgenson, who also illustrates a book and audio cassette version. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of the books of a lifetime.......2007-05-27

There are reasons that some books, like all things are unforgettable.
This is the wonderful story of a toy rabbit that longs to become real, but must be loved enough. It's a magical fable with beautiful pics, and a touching ending.

5 out of 5 stars Being Real or Being Saved?.......2007-05-14

This book really reminds me of the salvation doctrine of Christianity. You are saved during your lifetime, but it isn't until you die that you actually go to heaven. In the case of the Velveteen Rabbit, he becomes real when he's loved by a boy, but he doesn't actually turn into a living rabbit until he's right on the verge of a fiery demise. I don't know what else to say about the book because its so short, except that its awesome.

Always believe in miracles.

5 out of 5 stars A Taste of Heaven.......2007-05-12

This story could easily be entitled: How things are and how they ought to be. The insights into relationships and friendships are profound and memorable. It is and always will be a classic, and one of my all-time favorite stories.

5 out of 5 stars What was your velveteen rabbit?.......2007-04-14

A simple but unpatronizing children's book of just the right length for storytime. Beautifully touching writing that imparts great wisdom about love, friendship, and new beginnings. I think that everyone probably remembers that one special toy from childhood that was loved so much when reading this book, and the Velveteen Rabbit gives us a feeling that those best loved toys did indeed wind up somewhere wonderful after all.

5 out of 5 stars The very best.......2007-03-31

This is my favorite story and I think this is the very best inexpensive version I have found. I am sharing it with many clients; children, yes--but, I find it is most meaningful to people of any age.

          Description

          This is a classic children's story about a little boy and his toy bunny. The bunny lived in the nursery with the other toys. The mechanical toys felt superior to the old-fashioned ones and often snubbed them. But the ancient Skin Horse was friendly to the rabbit and explained to him the mystery of becoming real. The secret was the boy's father who loved the Skin Horse for a long, long time until he finally became real.

          The Velveteen Rabbit asked the Skin Horse, "Will I become real?" His answer was, "Real isn't how you are made. 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."

          As the story unfolds. we learn how the Velveteen Rabbit finally becomes real. See why children everywhere love The Velveteen Rabbit.
