The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real By Margery Williams
illustrations by William Nicholson Children's Classics The
Velveteen Rabbit (or How Toys Become Real) is a children's novel
written by Margery Williams and illustrated by William Nicholson.
It chronicles the story of a stuffed rabbit and his quest to become
real through the love of his owner. The book was first published in
1922 and has been republished many times since. The Velveteen
Rabbit was Williams' first children's book. It has been awarded the
IRA/CBC Children's Choice award. Based on a 2007 online poll, the
National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers'
Top 100 Books for Children." A stuffed rabbit sewn from velveteen
is given as a Christmas present to a small boy, but is neglected
for toys of higher quality or function, which shun him in response.
The rabbit is informed of magically becoming Real by the wisest and
oldest toy in the nursery as a result of extreme adoration and love
from children, and he is awed by this concept; however, his chances
of achieving this wish are slight. One night, after the boy has
misplaced his cherished china dog, he is pacified through the
presence of the rabbit, who attracts more attention from his owner
from then onward as a result, to the extent of his promotion to the
position of the child's favorite toy. However, when the toy
rabbit's owner contracts scarlet fever, he is prescribed a trip to
the seashore and is pacified upon receiving a stuffed rabbit of
higher quality as a replacement for the Velveteen Rabbit, which
must be burned alongside all of the other playthings due to
potential bacteria. Before the rabbit can meet a painful demise, he
is greeted by the Nursery Fairy, who transforms him into a living
rabbit to spare him from an agonizing fate, as he'd acquired
greater affection from the boy than all of the other toys and
surpassed all qualifications required. The rabbit accompanies
several others in rejoicing, gleeful upon having received his
dream.
