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.

An enchanting story.
This story is approximately 25 mins long and is about a beautiful velveteen rabbit who is loved and adored by the little boy. A delightful story read beautifully by Richard Armitage.

Wonderful for any age
I’m 54 years old and I sat with a huge smile on my face, from start to finish!
Once again Mr Armitage was fantastic, the voices he used and the way it was presented was just magical.

Beautiful story telling
Written so well, that you can honestly feel part of the story. In so few pages, you grow to love the main character, the bunny, so much that you feel his pain and happiness along with him. Loved it 🩷
