Book synopsis:
Nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it.

Like the Skin Horse, Margery Williams understood how toys--and people--become real through the wisdom and experience of love. This reissue of a favorite classic, with the original story and illustrations as they first appeared in 1922, will work its magic for all who read it

My thoughts
Please don't kill me if this is your favorite kid's book, 
For some unknown reason I never picked this book up as a kid i was more in to books like Wind In the Willow , Raggedy Ann, and so on . So here is my thoughts
Is it a new all time favorite or even a favorite : no
Will I ever read it again: yes 
Will I buy a physical copy : No i'll just keep the kindle on
Has it become one of my go to books : no 
Am I glad I finally picked it up after having it on my kindle for 2 years :yes
Basically is just a book I'll pick up every once in a while , and even though this is my first time reading it I can see why its a lot of people's favorite book.

The Velveteen Rabbit written by Margery Williams is a 4.7 on the Accelerated Reading leveling system. The book is about a stuffed rabbit that loves his boy. One day the boy gets sick and must throw out the stuffed bunny because it carries germs. This makes the rabbit sad. However, the rabbit soon turns into a real bunny and gets to live a new life in the forest next to the boy's house. This is a perfect book for young children as a read aloud for the beginning of school. It demonstrates that growing up is inevitable, but it is also very exciting. 

This story is actually one of my all-time favorites. It is the story of love and friendship and something that children can really relate to at a young age. Many students in the younger grades will have a stuffed animal or a significant item in their life that they feel means everything to them. I would use this in any grade K through 4 common but for my first graders I would have them write a story about their own Velveteen Rabbit.

For me, this book is a MUST HAVE! I have to have this book in my classroom and in my life simply because it is my all time favorite! To me, this book just epitomizes childhood as well as the transition from childhood into adulthood. I do not have any specific ideas on how to use it in my classroom other than the following:

1. I WILL use it for a read aloud no matter what grade I am teaching (ages 0-100+), and

2. It WILL be in my classroom library!
