Beautiful story!

This is one of my favorite stories. The performance is exquisite as is the music. It shares a message we all need to hear!

Enchanting story

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

It's good and could of been great but sometimes the music almost drowned out the narration. I wish that the music was a little lower or Miss. Streep had read a little bit louder.

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

When the Velveteen Rabbit was told by the skin horse what it was like to become real from nursery magic.

Which character – as performed by Meryl Streep – was your favorite?

The Velveteen Rabbit

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

It made me sad when the rabbit was about to be burned.

Any additional comments?

Really good book by rabbit ears. I look forward to more.

Great story

My daughter loves this story. Meetl Streep's voice is soothing to put on for bed time for bedtime. I am sure we will listen to it 1,000 times.

Exceptional

I never tire listening to this presentation of this story. I have listen to many other versions spoken by others but they are just not the same

delightful timeless classic story

I bought this as a bedtime story for my children. The story is beautifully read by Meryl Streep, accompanied by sweet music, quite magically heart warming

Loved her voice

I enjoyed the way they used the music and the voice with inflections and brought the wonderful story to like the rabbit. Such a wonderful story and will always be one of my favorites.
