It was a happy book in the end

This book was an amazing fiction book. This is an easy but exciting book. My favourite character was the velveteen rabbit because he believed he would become real one day. I was interested in this book because it looked exciting. I would recommend this book to children aged 9- 14 because some of the words are a bit tricky.

This is a long picture book, my mum took me to see this at the theatre a couple of years ago. I like the show but I didn't like the book. I read it to myself and my sister and we liked it a bit better. It has a happy ending but its quite dramatic in the middle. My sister was a little bit scared but I cuddled her so she was ok.

It was emotional and i absolutely loved it so much the bunny at first was confused and at the end he understood his problem and this i felt was important so i wanted to comment about it. I liked the rabbit the most because he understood what had happened and he understood the answer to his question. I recommend this book to everyone.
