Summary: I still love this book...I always will
Review: These are the days of Sony Playstation 2 and Harry Potter, activites that do not really ever try to tell a great story that also gives a lesson without being preachy.

The Velveteen Rabbit is heartwrenchingly beautiful. The Rabbit who yearns to be Real and whose love for the boy was unconditional is both imaginative and sad. I cannot read this book without a lump coming to my throat and being transported to simpler days when the love of a toy was the greatest thing in the whole world.

This is a book with an ending that is mixed, that touches on the ambiguity of life and loss. But there is also hope of a new beginning. And I think children can understand that and grow from it.

I cherish this book deeply.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every library needs a copy - hauntingly beautiful
Review: The Velveteen Rabbit, and his timeless message about the meaning of love, is a marvellous children's book which every adult should re-read. It never fails to move and enchant me. This edition is especially suited as a gift book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My daughter's favorite book!
Review: Daughter Anna (now 19 years old) loved this book. It was her favorite above all others. As we sorted through some old kid things for give-away purposes, we stumbled upon this old, well worn copy of "The Velveteen Rabbit." She insisted we keep the book for HER children.

This was her book that Mama (me!) had to read to her again and again and again. As soon as the last word was read on the last page, it was "Mama, please read it again!"

(how I miss those days, by the way!)

The book also has a powerful message about Love that children understand and cherish.

This is a wonderful book. No child should be without their own copy of "The Velveteen Rabbit."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Becoming "Real" is a lot like becoming a mother
Review: I've come to realize that although us mothers might loose the pink on our noses, and our tail comes unsewn, and we're worn out, we're loved. That's better than being pristine, never knowing what it's like to smell of spit-up or spend your days changing diapers or speaking in baby-talk. I love reading this book and reminding myself that the grandest thing I can do is be a much loved, much used, mother. An uplifting book after a long hard day as a mommy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My all-time favorite children's book!
Review: The Velveteen Rabbit was (and still is) my favorite children's book. The classic tale of how the little boy's love made the rabbit real is a classic. I had a hard time finding this book, but I finally have it. I am hoping to read it to my future kids and hopefully my kids will read it to their kids. This is a book that anyone from any generation could enjoy. I will always love the Velveteen Rabbit!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Velveteen Rabbit
Review: Remarkably well done video with outstanding illustrations, music, and narration. A total pleasure for all ages. My wife and I both cried during the viewing out of pure joy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Velveteen Rabbit
Review: The Velveteen Rabbit is a great book for children. It is probally a little difficult for the younger kids to read, but if they don't read someone needs to read it to them. I believe it is one of the best books I have read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A beautiful story of love and friendship for young and old.
Review: My mother read this book to me as a child and it taught me to believe in the power of love. I think that the best thing you can do for a child you love is hold them in your lap and read it aloud. I just gave it to my neice and it was one of the best experiences of my life to sit and read it to her.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic tale still going strong.
Review: It has been seventy-seven years since this story was first published and it continues to be popular with each generation. I am amazed at how often I've read it to the children of today. It is the classic story of a stuffed rabbit who, after many years, becomes a real rabbit through love. It is a book that also should be on the shelf of any serious student of children literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A classic story, wonderful for any generation, kid or adult.
Review: This is a classic tale of bunny who wishes to become real. With a little nursery magic and love, wonderful things can happen. This particular copy (Illustrated by Tien Ho) is my favorite because it is the copy that I grew up with. It is a great story to read to your child to show them the values that really matter in life. It is my favorite story and I will continue to read it to my children.
