Everyone knows of the
Velveteen Rabbit, right? This has got to be in the top
10 (maybe even top 5!) best children's books ever,
right? The story of the little toy rabbit on his quest
for what it means to be "real." I have loved this story
for a LONG time...but there are SO many versions out
there...all the same story, but different sizes,
editions, and mostly different illustrators...Well, when
I worked at Borders, I began my quest for MY ideal
Velveteen Rabbit! And here you have it! It just fell
into my lap one day! The pictures are JUST AMAZING! The
book is a large hardcover, which I ALWAYS prefer....it's
just a fabulous edition! It's become my first gift to
new children in my life. Everyone who has a baby gets
this as a present at some point. I won't even look at
any other edition now...this one is just too perfect.
This went out of print by the original publisher, but I
was recently told by the illustrator that she is now the
sole publisher, so check out her site:
www.donnagreen.com to purchase a new copy, or click
on the link on the title to look for a used copy at
amazon.
