The Velveteen Rabbit

There was once a velveteen rabbit, and to begin with he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white; he had real thread whiskers; and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming. New edition of the classic story.
