The Velveteen Rabbit lived for a long time in the toy cupboard, and no one thought very much about him. The mechanical toys in the nursery snubbed him, and the Velveteen Rabbit spent his time dreaming of becoming real. Experience the retelling of this classic tale through the eyes of the Skin Horse, the Velveteen Rabbit’s only friend, who reminds the Velveteen Rabbit that it takes time and patience to become real. When the boy rediscovers his favorite toy, the Velveteen Rabbit embarks upon the best summer ever. But when the boy gets very sick, the Velveteen Rabbit learns what it means to be a loyal friend and what it really takes to become real.
