The Velveteen Rabbit

When a young
boy gets a beautiful velveteen rabbit for a gift, he plays with his new toy for
a while, but in all the excitement of opening presents, he forgets about it.
But only temporarily. How the rabbit comes to be loved by the boy and finally
comes to life is a classic story that has been read and cherished by many
generations of children and their parents.
