Velveteen Rabbit (Illustrated Edition)

The Velveteen Rabbit is a first children''s book and a heart-warming tale by Margery Williams, an English-American author, primarily of popular children''s books. It is about a stuffed rabbit who longs to become real, and the magic that makes his dream come true.

Christmas morning, the room filled with the hustle and bustle of preparation, a rabbit stitched of velveteen sits perched on top of the little boy''s stocking. But like most children, the boy is fickle and easily distracted-after Christmas morning, the Velveteen Rabbit is forgotten. Shy and intimidated by the new mechanical toys who sneer at him for being simple, the sawdust-filled rabbit sits quietly at the top of the toy closet, aching to be loved the way he was that wonderful Christmas morning. 

A beloved classic since it was first published in 1922, it has since been adapted many times for television and film. It is a timeless story about the importance of love, honesty, and friendship.
