Product Description
An all-time children's classic "The Velveteen Rabbit" beautifully packaged with an adorable, authentic plush version of the beloved bunny! The Velveteen Rabbit's journey from outcast toy to real bunny is a classic tale of love, friendship and learning to be yourself. This special hardcover gift edition, which includes beautiful design on every page, reunites Margery Williams's text with the original full-color 1922 illustrations by William Nicholson. The plush stuffed bunny, which has been designed exclusively for this gift set, is made of high quality velveteen and based on these same original illustrations. We hope that he will become, like the Velveteen Rabbit himself, a cherished companion and inspiration.

• The Velveteen Rabbit Gift Set 11 August, 2008
I bought this for my little niece who is 3 years old. She liked the little stuffed rabbit. She also liked the illustrations in the book. She listened to some of the story being read, but I believe she will enjoy it more as she gets older. Her (my) nephews of which one is 2 and the other 4 loved both also. My sister has a 23 year old and a 3 year old daughter. This is a very good set, and priced nicely for any budget.

• A Cuddly Classic 13 July, 2008
Everyone loves the Velveteen Rabbit, but this gift set is especially nice! I bought it for my cousin's new baby, and it was very well received. The baby is in love with the plush bunny that was included with the set, and I'm sure she'll enjoy hearing the story again & again.

• An Awesome Combination That Makes A Great Little Gift 07 March, 2008
I bought this sort of on a lark because I thought someone I was seeing might like it. We actually started talking online because of a quoted passage from the book and that eventually lead to us meeting up and so on. The gift turned out great.
I bought it again for someone else and ended up reading the story to her as we were both lay on top of my bed. I knew the story pretty well - having watched it read on some PBS early reader program, but had never read it myself. I teared up twice. She loved the book, having it read to her, and the little stuffed rabbit.
I bought it again for my 10 year old daughter. And read it to her also. I used to read to her a lot when she was younger, but that's sort of fallen by the wayside as she grew older. She loved that also.
I bought it again for someone else I was seeing and I read it to her at the airport as we were waiting for her flight back out west. She also loved it.
There might be something to be said for "recycling" the same gift for multiple people, but the Velveteen Rabbit is an important enough story that it should be shared. About becoming "real" and what it takes. I still tear up at the same spots, even after multiple readings.
Considering the price, there are very few other items that make such a great gift for sharing. The "Principles" book makes a great add-on in case you think $11 is too little for a gift.

• Tricky, Tricky... 29 April, 2008
Well, I got this as a birthday gift from my boyfriend and I have to say, even though I didn't let him know, I was extremely disappointed in it. I asked him for a Velveteen Rabbit for my birthday, because it's what I wanted. He was so excited when he ordered it, thinking the rabbit was going to blow me away or something. Fact of the matter was, when it showed up, (actually the day before my birthday) I was so excited, like a child, opening my package. When I opened it, I don't know if I was able to hide my disappointment in the size of the bunny. It was smaller than my hand! After giving him a giant hug and a kiss for getting me what I wanted, I kind of moped and put the gift set away. Unopened. All I really wanted was a floppy velveteen rabbit like I had when I was a little girl, to hold and sleep with. I strongly believe that he thought he bought me a bigger bunny, because even he looked a little distraught and kept asking me if it was ok and if I really liked it. The picture is not just a little, but a LOT deceiving and I suggest that you READ VERY CAREFULLY between the lines and see the measurements of this tiny little rabbit. It's smaller than a Happy Meal Toy. Hell, it could even BE a Happy Meal Toy.

• Description Is A Bit Off 01 April, 2008
At the time of writing this, the description for The Velveteen Rabbit Gift Set: Hardcover book and plush package has Product Dimensions: 17.2 x 8.2 x 3.7 inches. So I figured the plush doll would be 17.2 inches tall from base to ear tip, about the size one would imagine it to be after reading the book, it's not, closer to 10 inches total. Besides that, it's a great book, one of my childhood favorites.
