Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child.

When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.

Once there was a velveteen rabbit who longed to be Real. He was owned by a boy who loved him more and more every day, even when the rabbit's velveteen coat grew old and shabby and worn. Then one day something magical happened, and the rabbit's wish began to come true...

With messages about the importance of love and inner beauty, The Velveteen Rabbit is an all-time favourite classic which has delighted generations of children.

Reviews

enchantingly clever, funny and exciting

—— The Times

the complete package for young readers and their parents alike

—— Sunday Express

an astounding adventure

—— Telegraph Weekend

this is the stuff of legends

—— The Guardian

An eye-widening fantasy, a scorching thriller and a thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, this is a book that can be enjoyed at many levels.

—— Guardian

Hartman’s prose is delicate, complex and gorgeous, and the world of these books is lushly articulated . . . [a] deeply wonderful, attention-deserving offering that should be picked up, and soon.

—— The Globe and Mail (Canadian publication)

I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here!
