Reviews for Velveteen Rabbit
15 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a good example of fantasy because toys are talking and interacting with each other, but it is relates to children on their level about special toys, playing, being sick, etc. The rabbit is sad when the boy moves on to a new rabbit, which is a human emotion in a nonliving thing. The main character, the rabbit, changes from a toy at the beginning to a real rabbit at the end and thus becomes round.

To Francesco Bianco from The Velveteen Rabbit
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. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming.
There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine,
