Synopsis :

A timeless classic that has been treasured for generations—this edition features the original story with heartwarming illustrations from David Jorgensen.

Once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.

At first a brand-new toy, now a threadbare and discarded nursery relic, the velveteen rabbit is saved from peril by a magic fairy who whisks him away to the idyllic world of Rabbitland. There, he becomes ""Real,"" a cherished childhood companion who will be loved for eternity.

This wondrous tale of the velveteen rabbit has delighted readers of all ages with its story of transformation and redemption through a child's unwavering love.
