All the other toys in the nursery snub The Velveteen Rabbit, an ordinary stuffed bunny filled with sawdust, for being boring and old-fashioned. When the little boy discovers the forlorn little rabbit, they become fast friends. Through their friendship, The Velveteen Rabbit learns what it means to be truly loved – and the joy and the pain of what it means to be real. Adapted from the classic book by Margery Williams, this story is performed by the famed Tarradiddle Players. What a great story to share with your favorite little one for the holidays!
