HCI's hit self-help book The Velveteen Principles uses the lessons in Margery Williams' The Velveteen Rabbit, the classic story of a toy bunny that learns what it means to be real, to show today's adults how becoming "real" and embracing their true selves can make them wiser, healthier and best of all happier. This new edition of The Velveteen Rabbit is designed to compliment The Velveteen Principles. It uses the same cover design and interior design iconography. The text uses an airy layout to highlight the wisdom and beauty of Margery Williams' words. Additional features include the original 1922 illustrations by William Nicholson and a new introduction by Toni Raiten-D'Antonio, author of The Velveteen Principles. Key Features Intimate hardcover package. Full-color throughout. Elegant margin designs. Features the original 1922 illustrations New introduction by the author of The Velveteen Principles.
A heart touching story about life through the eyes of a stuffed rabbit and his playroom buddies. Not always happy, but so insightful. Loved this story since my youth.

I love this story and I wanted to get it for my granddaughter. Especially since it had the CD with it. Because she has a hard time reading but she is learning and I think this would be great for her to read along with the CD.
A Wonderful Book with Beautiful Illustrations!

I’ve been on the hunt for this book for a while now, it’s my father’s favorite children’s story and he’s been wanting to have it again. I ordered it on 9/7 and just got it today on 9/11. I’m incredibly pleased with it and am excited to give it to him for his 59th birthday.
Beautiful read

Disappointed

I wanted this book for my toddler, but the edition I purchased had only a few pictures and mostly words. I suggest you read the description carefully or get more info on the edition before buying to make sure you're getting what you expect.
She loved it!

I gave this book to my friends daughter along with other Velveteen Rabbit items...but the coloring really topped it off. She started coloring at her birthday party before anyone left. The story of the little rabbit has always been a favorite of mine and I have shared it with many children over the years. The coloring book added a nice touch to the package of Velveteen Rabbit items.
Baby book for friend

Great book-very solid board book-sturdy! I bought for a friend's baby shower and she loved it-One of the classics.
Beautiful story and illustrations!

I bought this for my daughter (age 2) because she loves the Lisa McCue bunny stories. This is such a beautiful and classic story. Lisa's illustrations are so real and details - you want to pick up the bunnies from the book and just hug them (as my daughter pretends to do). And since it is a board book - even better! Highly Recommended!
A wonderful treat for your toddler!

Any book with Lisa McCue's name as author or especially illustrator will be a winner with your little one. The bunnies are so winsome and adorable that this will become a favorite! The story is a classic and an easy to understand version for the younger child coupled with the wonderful illustrations, it will easily become a must read for you and your child!
What Ever Parent Should Read To Their Child

I feel that The Velveteen Rabbit, was one of the most memorable books that my parents read to me. I will continue to pass it on to my children, in hope that they too will think that it if they respect their teddy bears and rabbits, and give them that extra care, that they too will come to life.
