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.

a lovely story read by a velvety voice
I was unfamiliar with the story until now. I played it for my 4yo, who usually are very fussy about which stories she will tolerate listening to, but there were no complaints from her on this one... especially after she fell asleep part way through the story. Richard Armitage has just the most soothing velvety voice that is both perfect for listening to in bed as well as bringing this classic story to life.

perfect performance
A classic told with passion, sharing the awe and mystery. Armitage lends his English and Welsh accents to give life to the nursery characters.

Descriptive and Beautiful 😻
I was drawn into the story and I “became” the rabbit, feeling its excitement, optimism, joy, sadness and pride.

Nostalgic classic
Like the warm hug you need in the middle of the night if you are struggling to fall back asleep in stressful times.
