| Summary and How would you use the book: A boy receives a Velveteen Rabbit for Christmas. One day while talking with the horse, the Rabbit learns that a toy becomes real if its owner really and truly loves it. When the boy's dog is misplaced, the Velveteen Rabbit is given replacement by his grandmother. The boy becomes too sick too play for a very long time. The doctor says all the toys the boy has played with had to be burned. When the Rabbit cries a real tear the Nursery Magic Fairy appears. She tells the Rabbit that he was only real to the boy, then kisses him and makes him real to everyone. The following spring, the boy sees the Rabbit, thinks he looks like his old Velveteen Rabbit, but he never knows that it actually was. | |
