Velveteen Rabbit, or, How Toys Become Real

The Velveteen Rabbit (or How Toys Become Real) is a British children's book written by Margery Williams and illustrated by William Nicholson.

It chronicles the story of a stuffed rabbit's desire to become real through the love of his owner. The rabbit is awed by this idea, but feels his chances of achieving this wish are slight due to the boy forgetting about him in favor of playing with his newer, more modern and mechanical toys.
