What to expect
What does it mean to become real? That’s what the velveteen rabbit wants to know. Having been gifted to a small boy, the velveteen rabbit becomes a beloved toy. But he is troubled, for he cannot hop like the rabbits outside.
When his young owner becomes sick with scarlet fever, the velveteen rabbit faces an even greater question: Will he escape the fate of the other toys and books in the germ-ridden nursery? Or will he somehow get away and discover a new kind of life?
