The Velveteen Rabbit

On Christmas morning, the Velveteen Rabbit is the finest thing in the Boy’s stocking. Two hours later, amid the rustle of new presents, he is forgotten.

In a nursery ruled by Nana, the Rabbit is only velveteen and sawdust—easy for the grander toys to look down on. The old Skin Horse tells him that being Real has nothing to do with how a toy is made: it happens when a child loves you, though it may leave you shabby and sometimes hurt. Then one night the Boy reaches for his forgotten Bunny, and the Rabbit begins to discover what love might mean. Can he become Real without losing what makes him precious?
