The Velveteen Rabbit: Or How Toys Become Real
“The Velveteen Rabbit” is a century-old story ...
In an old house in Paris
that was covered with vines
lived twelve little girls
in two straight lines.
The smallest one was Madeline.
So begins the story of Madeline, a small and fearless orphan living in a Parisian group home. Children enjoy the book’s rhyming cadence, its bright and whimsical illustrations, and the maverick spirit of the main character. This book is recommended for daytime read-alouds, as a bedtime story, and for the study of rhyme.
