About this listen
There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning 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.
There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten.
For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him.

When is a toy real
Sweet story. Enjoyed it. I think everyone would read this story and be reminded of that one toy that they all liked in their childhood.
I heard the audio story and it was excellently narrated.

Wonderful.
I miss the nostalgic feeling of losing myself in the sweet, meaningful wonder of a children's story, secretly written for grownups.

The Velveteen Rabbit
The slow pace of the narration was just right for a young reader. I also liked how expressive it was!

Loved it!
The story is an established classic for kids. We found the narration slightly fast for small kids. Some more expressions, some nice back ground music and the story being told slight deliberation would have been nice.
Although it's still good.
