Summary

In Margery Williams' beloved classic, "The Velveteen Rabbit (Illustrated)," the enchanting tale of love, loss, and transformation unfolds through the perspective of a stuffed rabbit longing to become real. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century childhood, the narrative embodies a lyrical simplicity and profound emotional depth, rich with symbolism regarding authenticity and the nature of love. The beautifully illustrated editions further enhance the storytelling, drawing readers into a world where childhood innocence grapples with the inevitability of change and loss. Margery Williams, an English-American author, was deeply influenced by her own experiences of motherhood and her observations of children's emotional worlds. Her background in writing for children, combined with her own whimsical imagination, catalyzed the creation of this timeless fable that resonates with both young and adult audiences alike. Williams' ability to articulate the complexities of attachment and the poignant journey of becoming real speaks to her keen understanding of human emotions and childhood psychology. "The Velveteen Rabbit (Illustrated)" is a must-read for anyone who cherishes the magic of childhood and the complexities of love. It serves as a profound reminder of the transformative power of affection and the bittersweet nature of growing up, making it a perfect addition to both personal and educational libraries.

    In book two of the series, Book of Bad Bargains, Jazz tries to convince her older brother to trade his beloved blue marble with increasingly peculiar bargains. Readers - quite possibly even adult readers - are introduced to a curious range of trinkets.  
    Spattered with irreverence and touched with ingenuity, this illustrated series featuring Jazz and her older brother has the feel of an instant classic. Gratefully, Laura Teste, in her author-illustrator debut, has included tongue-in-cheek nods to the lucky adults in the room. For the inquisitive-can’t-sit-still children, her series is sure to capture their attention and whet their appetite for more. 
    As a 'girl dad,' I was particularly happy to see that the wheeling, dealing little firecracker of a science prodigy is female. Overall, this is a tightly written and exceptionally well-crafted story. Very highly recommended. – Five Star Review by Readers’ Favorite

    For most folks, a trip to the circus is a pretty harmless thing to do – so long as you remain in your seats to enjoy the show. But it wouldn’t be a good idea if you were to get involved with the acts and, for example, tried to help a monkey escape or you got involved with an escaped lion that hates monkeys……And then one of your pals wanted to leave home and join the circus. If anything like that happened, well, for sure there would be big trouble under the big top! And this action-packed performance has all the thrills & spills and ooo’s & aah’s that any audience could wish for.
