    The Velveteen Rabbit

    By rigirl33  |  Posted March 11, 2009  
     

    What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

     

    "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

     

     

    This book has always been one of my favorites. I now share it with my son the way my mother shared it with me.
