First published a century ago, this was the debut children's book by Newbery Honoree Margery Williams, and remains a classic for readers and listeners up to 8. She introduces the idea of nursery magic—when a child truly loves a toy, it becomes Real—in the story of a plush bunny given to a young boy. The rabbit isn't fancy, nor does he have a clockwork motion, and at first he goes unnoticed. But in time he becomes the boy's favorite, and the nursery magic happens. William Nicholson's 1922 illustrations have lost none of their charm, and the pages have decorative floral borders.
