About this listen
There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming.
There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten.
For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him.

Found this story when I needed it
I love Richard Armitage, he is a fantastic narrator. I am 51 years old and I have listened to this twice so far. Its a short quick book but my nephew lost his father last December and it make for a tough Christmas. This year for his birthday I gave him a stuffed wolf and told him the story of the Veleveteen Rabbit. He never heard it, so I sent him the audiable to listen to and that his new stuff wolf may come to life one day. Isnt that every childs dream? Their favorite teddy bear comes to life.
Thanks Richard, your narration is fantastic.
