It brilliantly retells the classic tale of a stuffed toy bunny who becomes “Real” through the unconditional love of a little boy.

The Velveteen Rabbit’s changing emotions—from loneliness to hope and deep love—are captured beautifully through subtle changes in his stitched eyes and floppy posture. The transition of the stuffed toy into a real, leaping wild rabbit is handled with a magical, glowing ethereal quality that captures the emotional climax perfectly.This is a timeless collector’s piece for all ages.

This bilingual Spanish-English edition, the first illustrated selection of 70 questions from Pablo Neruda’s original poem (320 questions), The Book of Questions, is a glorious introduction to Neruda’s works for young children. “Why don’t they teach helicopters how to draw honey from the sun? How did the abandoned bicycle find its freedom? Does the earth chirp like a cricket in the symphony of the skies?” These are a few of the unanswerable imaginative questions posed in the text. The book is large and includes fold-out pages. Blues, reds, and yellows against black or white backgrounds created by pencil and ink have a folk art feel. This is a gorgeous book. mjw
