A classic. A story that cuts across all age barriers transcends all age groups. A story that tells of undying love, attachment, heartbreak then followed by the miracle of rejuvenation, the magic and wonder of regainment, in a far better form, finally. This story is a story that gives hope that love, longing, yearning and faith do make miracles happen. A story that serves as a lesson to all of us in being careful and realise the values of what is being thrown away. It is a story of miracles that happen in the face of ruthless human 'rationalism.' A priceless lesson that everything animate and seemingly inanimate has a deep, lasting value of its own. Another book that belongs to this category is the book called Nothing by Mike Inkpen, which tells a similar story of a stuffed cat who remains in dirty condition, undiscovered for decades till a similar miracle restores him back to his first owner. Also a must buy and must read.

Had heard a lot about this book, mainly is American sitcoms. Good story no doubt but illustrations are a bit drab. Nevertheless, my 5 yr old enjoyed listening to it n asks us to read it quite often. I searched for colorful books of this story but they compromise on d beautifully written words that paint a picture in your mind.

Beautiful illustrations, easy language, and a meaningful message. My child really enjoyed reading it. A great addition to any kid’s bookshelf!

It's a very small story ... Yet... For the child, it is an entertaining listen; for an adult, it has elements of philosophy to ponder upon ... And in all of this, you will think of praise for a writer, who could delve so deep inside a child's world to make a magic happen in form of this story.

Bought it for friend’s daughter. She finished it in one sitting and enjoyed it thoroughly. Helps build empathy. Highly recommended.

Great print for the price. Looks like a premium version worth a lot of money but is actually for 125 bucks.

They should know the same answers

Ürün çok güzel ancak bazı yerlerde mürekkep lekeleri var . Üzülerek iade ediyorum. Kargo çok hızlıydı , satıcıya teşekkür ediyorum

Me encantó, aunque es un libro para niños, los grandes que no lo han leído encontrarán en sus escasas páginas una bella historia para comprender lo que el amor puede hacer. Las ilustraciones son buenas, en la versión impresa por supuesto que son mucho mucho mejores.

This book came to my attention, because it was read in my beloved series "Cold Case" by the main character detective Lilly Rush. The book itself is a wonderful story about hope, friendship and love, between a rabbit and his owner, a young boy. Today the story is more topical than ever, it is a story that should be read to children again and again, because it actually conveys basic values.x finger. In today's world, in which children are inundated with the latest electronic toys, which do not stimulate their imagination, a child is told here that it is completely ok to have a cuddly toy, a confidante, or a friend. In every time, one should remember, that children also have problems and fears and that the confidant cuddly toy companion can be a comforting source. I will give this book to my little neighbour as a christmas present. she has a cuddly toy, an owl. I am sure her parents will read it to her with enthusiasm.

I heard that this book was terrific so I was sad that I hadn't read it to my daughter when she was young, but I bought it anyways as something for future grandchildren (fingers crossed). When I received this book I didn't realize how beautiful it would be and thought it would make a terrific gift for a colleague of mine. I'm actually thinking of gifting this one and getting a cheaper one for myself.

Veio em perfeito estado, apesar de não estar com embalagem plástica. Gostei bastante.
