About the Book. First published in 1922, The Velveteen Rabbit has enchanted generations of readers with its gentle wisdom about love, growing up, and what it truly means to be Real. In the nursery, the new velveteen rabbit is overlooked in favour of shinier, more mechanical toys, until he turns to the wise old Skin Horse for guidance. The Skin Horse explains that being Real isn't about how you're made, but happens when a child loves you for a long, long time - not just to play with, but really loves you. Through the devoted love of the Boy who owns him, the little rabbit begins his own magical journey towards becoming Real..
