Great story that explores themes of love and loss using child-centered language
“Real isn‘t how you are made. It‘s the thing that happens to you.”
pickThis story follows a stuffed rabbit on the journey of finding true friendship with a child who is in need of a stuffed friend.

An all-time fave. If you've never seen the movie, you are missing out. The music is by George Winston, and the book is narrated by Meryl Streep. What are you waiting for? This link isn't the best, but it is the whole movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs9YdlWD5ZU
pickThis was another lovely reread of this story, which is one of my favorite childhood classics, for #bookspinbingo
I love reading stories that never get old, and this is definitely one of those for me ❤️
pickI have always loved this story of a beloved rabbit who becomes real. It‘s sweet and heartwarming and always makes me cry a little. Richard Armitage‘s narration is lovely, but let‘s be honest - I‘d listen to him read the phone book. 😂
pickI listened to this via BorrowBox,
I found it an endearing and sweet story
Read for reading challenges.
4/5
pickI only listened to this because Grady Hendrix references it in How to Sell a Haunted House. Oof. I shouldn‘t be crying while gaming but here we are.
Our library is running a colouring competion. Here is my little boys entry 🐰❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗
My first time reading this one, believe it or not. I was familiar with the story but loved reading it “officially”! 💓 Happy Easter!!! 🐰🌷
“Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don‘t matter at all, because once you are Real you can‘t be ugly, except to people who don‘t understand.” — Margery Williams, Velveteen Rabbit

My mom, @curiouserandcurioser , and I spent our Sunday afternoon making a little bookish surprise for my niece and nephew, which will be waiting on their bookshelves the next time they visit! 🦈📚🦋
pickSadder and more complex than I remembered! Jimena got this one as a Christmas present in board book form.
pickI actually don't think I read this as a very young person. I thought it was a bit depressing but had a nice ending. Glad I finally read it thanks to the Blackwell's list. #wintergames2021 #teamgamesleighers #bfc21 #wintercosy #averymerryreadathon #dashingdecember #averymerrybingo #christmasmyway #littenlisten #blackwellsbookshelfreadathon
pickIt's National Children's Book Day & the official start of #bookspin , so I thought I'd start with an easy read! I absolutely love The Velveteen Rabbit 🐇 It's so heartwarming & comforting, & will always be a favorite of mine! (Luna's Rescue & Dragon Rider are other children's book favorites of mine!)
This was 14 on my #bookspinbingo board! It feels nice to finish a book spin read on the first day, even if it is a short one 😅

"Wasn't I Real before?" asked the little Rabbit.
Such a sweet story. I don't remember crying when I read it as a child. As we read it this evening my 13 yr old says we cry because it's so heartwarming. Then we thought about his dog dog, and how he is Real.
pickWhen @TheBookHippie put the classic children‘s reading list out, I realized I hadn‘t read most of the books, as I am from a different country. Then the libraries closed and I finally got to read this as an e-book. I enjoyed this story of a toy rabbit, toys who come to life, and how the rabbit becomes real.
pickAfter reading the Velveteen Rabbit with Chaya last night, this is how I found her this morning. Most of the stuffed animals had fallen in the floor. How I love books!!!
We both loved the simple story with unfamiliar vocabulary - bracken.

An old-time favorite!
This edition is exquisitely illustrated. Link: https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/02/23/the-velveteen-rabbit-komako-sakai/ The story is a perfect message and gift for the holidays.
pickOne of my favorite books as a young child. I'd want my parents to read it to me over and over again and always cried because the Boy and his rabbit were separated lol. Re-read to my youngest. Definitely a children's classic! #TMSkellington #WinterGames #HolidayRead

This is a story of a toy rabbit that becomes real because he is loved so much. It is a story of love between a child and his favorite toy. This is traditional literature and won a children‘s choice award. It would be a great book to use for storytelling. This book would be great for elementary schools. #ucflae3414f19
pickTook this little one with me to bed tonight since it‘s such a perfect bedtime book. A classic that I‘ll read to my future children. 👌🏼🐇

pickThe Velveteen Rabbit is what comes to mind when I think of rabbits and spring.
Just in case you haven‘t read this yet, a little boy loves his toy rabbit so very much. He sleeps with it every night, plays with it every day, brings it outside with him. This rabbit feels he is real because the boy loves him so.
But then the boy becomes very sick, and after his fever breaks, he is no longer allowed to keep this precious rabbit.
Heartwarming x100!

The first book that springs to mind every time I think about #rabbits. Even as a child, I cried.
#SpringIntoReading

Loved this book growing up!
I love the many incarnations of Margery Williams‘ cover for VR, especially upper left corner.

A timeless classic about the magic of boundless love that's been treasured for generations!
“Once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.”
Here is one of the most classic and beloved children's stories, with the original illustrations from 1922—the ideal gift for baby showers, birthdays, weddings, and holidays throughout the year.
This is SO sweet!! It makes me very sad to see that they have parted ways, but provides a sense of comfort when we as the audience knows the velveteen rabbit is always watching over his friend.
I love this part! The velveteen rabbit at this point feels so lost and alone, but when turned into an actual rabbit the story has definitely brought the fantasy to life!! Although, as we know this is the fantasy aspect because the toy rabbit can‘t actually become real. However, it‘s nice to think so!
