Updated Review: A wonderful holiday read for the young and old alike. It’s a reminder that we all have a place here, no matter our status. We all deserve to be loved. And when we are truly and deeply loved, we become real. Thanks, Mom, for giving me my hind legs and making me real. I will always love you ♥️
“…Shabbiness doesn't matter…Once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
Old Review: “The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon everyone else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real.”
“What is Real...?”
“... It doesn't happen all at once... You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.”
That's a lesson for all the “superior” mechanical beings out there with sharp edges who think that because of their status at work, lineage, etc. feel they can turn their noses on the plain old velveteen rabbits of the world. I can't believe I've lived as long as I have without reading this great children's classic. It should be distributed at every birthing.
