What is The Velveteen Rabbit about?
When a velvet toy rabbit arrives in the nursery, the other toys look down on him. The wise Skin Horse tells Rabbit that toys become real when they are truly loved. Soon he becomes the boy’s favourite companion, growing worn and shabby through their happy summer adventures. But when the boy falls ill, Rabbit faces a heartbreaking fate. Just as all hope seems lost, a magical fairy gives him a new life—and Rabbit discovers that love had made him real all along.
