Description

A stunning edition of the timeless classic, with illustrations by Erin Stead, Caldecott Medal winner of A Sick Day for Amos McGee.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR


A cherished, 100-year-old classic feels entirely new with breathtaking art by Caldecott Medal winner Erin Stead, who has cited this story as an influence on her acclaimed career.

With the full, original story from the 1922 classic, this deluxe, collectable edition of The Velveteen Rabbit is the go-to gift for baby showers, birthdays, weddings, and holidays throughout the year.

At first a brand-new toy, now a threadbare and discarded nursery relic, the velveteen rabbit is saved from peril by a magic fairy who whisks him away to the idyllic world of Rabbitland. There, he becomes "Real," a cherished childhood companion who will be loved for eternity. Treasured for generations, and given new life from one of today's most exciting children's book creators, here is a timeless tale about the magic of boundless love.

An NPR Best Book of the Year 2022

★ "Will entice a new generation of children to read or listen to the classic tale. . . . A beautiful, appealing update of this ageless story."—Booklist, starred review

"For this 100th-anniversary edition, Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Erin Stead took her turn, reimagining what it means to become real with lush, emotional illustrations that are guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings." —NPR

"Will continue to beguile young readers for generations to come." —Wall Street Journal

"Stead’s delicate woodblock print and pencil illustrations . . . match the ­lovely old-fashioned quality of the tale. . . . Living in such uncertain times, modern children have grown ­accustomed to seeing hardships reflected in their books; this is a sweet and loving break from that, and a beautiful story as well." —School Library Journal
