Reseñas de la Crítica

"This sentimental classic - perfect for any child who's ever thought that maybe, just maybe, his or her toys have feelings - has been charming children since its first publication in 1922. A great read-aloud for all ages." (Amazon.com review)

Love it still

Hadn't read this story for years and was intrigued about how I would find it being read to me.
Loved it and enjoyed the narrator.
Such a wonderful story when life seems just too "adult".

Best soothing bedtime story! We love the speaker and the story is lovely!!

My daughter and I listen to this story every night as we cuddle in her bed so she can fall asleep. The woman who reads this book does such an amazing job. She’s absolutely perfect for it. No one else compares. Love it!!!

Great!

Fantastic story

Wonderfully performed!

Where does The Velveteen Rabbit rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was my first experience with an audio book from Audible.com, and I must say- this was a delight!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Velveteen Rabbit?

I loved the whole story, the best part has to be when he is conversing with the Skin Horse about what it means to "Be Real"

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Every time I read or listen to this book it makes me cry like a baby :)

Any additional comments?

*Thumbs up*

slightly rushed narration

With playback slowed to 90%, quite nice and a good pace for kids. No other complaints.

Great!

Fantastic story

Reads well but quickly

The reader does a great job with the voices and everything, but she reads FAST. Most children's books have longer pauses. My 4-year-old son adores audiobooks, and he loved this one too, but he missed a lot of it because of the speed. "Wait, what was that she was saying about a horse?"

Nighttime Story

Loved it! It was just right for a sleepy time book for my grand daughter.

Story brings back memories...

If you could sum up The Velveteen Rabbit in three words, what would they be?

Memories, love, imagination

Who was your favorite character and why?

The little bunny, of course! Everyone, children, adults, and even stuffed animals, want to be loved.

What about Gale Van Cott’s performance did you like?

She brought the story to life, as if I were reading it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The little bunny atop the garbage pile to be burned. He was battered and alone and almost destroyed. Tea- jerker time! How many of us loved our toys as kids and then grew up, the toys forgotten? I still remember mine, and they were real to me.

Any additional comments?

Good story for all ages.

Moving story. Narrator didn't quite do it justice.

I adore this sweet, impactful, wise story. This narrator read quite quickly, which I usually prefer, but in this case I felt that she was rushing a bit too much, to the detriment of the tale. She also kept a very light tone throughout, but this story is bittersweet and should, I think, be read with a bit of sensitivity to that.
