The Velveteen Rabbit

40 pp. | Enchanted Lion | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59270-128-5 $17.95
(4) K-3 Translated by Yuki Kaneko. Reteller and illustrator Sakai trims the Velveteen Rabbit's story--about a toy rabbit who becomes real through the love of a boy--to an overlong but readable picture book. Kaneko's translation from the Japanese is stiff, but Sakai's rough-textured full-page illustrations, which have the look of pastels, are a good match for the realistic and imaginative elements of the child-friendly story.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
