Velveteen - Comments

It was sugary sweet, and I loved it. Kinda like that teddy bear with one eye you mentioned briefly: it's familiar and comforting.

I felt really warm when I read it, like something inside just felt good. There's not much I can say about it except that and that it's very well written, as you know. :)

Sweet!

"Read to me,"

That was my line =DD

Oh wow, Dru. I just loved this so much.
It was so soft and reassuring and it contrasted most of your other works that I've read and it was so refreshing to see that you could branch out and work with different emotion.
It was so sweet and simple, I just loved it.

This was simple and perfect - I absolutely loved it. As jeordie. said, I enjoyed the sentimental value it held for him and the first memory of the book when his mother read it to him as a child. Those kinds of memories are always nice to hang onto, the ones that remind you of a much simpler time before you had to worry about the things you do as an adult.

The way you described the book was much more effective rather than featuring a ton of extracts from it because, again, as jeordie. said, it shows how much of a timeless classic the boom is. Especially their daughter wanting them to read the book to her. The way that people of all different ages can enjoy it for many years to come.

It was amazing and I very much enjoyed it.

Oh wow, I used to love the Velveteen Rabbit as a kid. We had the book and I listened to it on audio tape.

But getting to the point, I love the message in this story. It's very sweet and kind of comforting I think, the idea that the classics won't be forgotten but will continue to be passed down through the generations- like The Wind in the Willows or Alice in Wonderland. And I like that it's not all about the book itself either, but the sentimental value and memories.

There were a couple of typos, nothing big, but I thought I'd let you know.
they spent an afternoon read it out loud and reliving the silliness of childhood.

“Read to me.” she pushes the book into his hands

I like that it's to the point and the way the story progresses too.

Drabble for a contest. Don't ask why I chose this book. I hadn't read it for years. But Kristen read it aloud to me today in the bookstore.

Happy reading!
