Velveteen Rabbit: Or How Toys Become Real - Tapa dura

"There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid." "Real" is a magical word to the Velveteen Rabbit -- he doesn't know quite what it means. But the Skin Horse, who is old and wise, knows, and he shares the secret: Being Real means being loved. Margery Williams's classic story of how a boy's love transforms a velveteen rabbit into a real one has resonated in the hearts of children for decades. Now Lou Fancher has adapted this storybook for a younger audience, and it has been brilliantly illustrated by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. Here is a feast for both eye and ear -- the perfect book for any child who cherishes a stuffed animal -- and believes in magic.

Margery Williams was born in London in 1881, and came to the United States when she was nine years old. Her first published novel was for adults, but she turned to writing for children in 1922. The Velveteen Rabbit was her first, and most well-known, book for young people. She died in Greenwich Village, New York, in 1944.
