When the wisest and oldest toy in the nursery, the Skin Horse, tells the velveteen rabbit that if he is loved enough by the boy he could become real, the rabbit is fascinated by the idea. Later the boy comes down with scarlet fever and the rabbit becomes the boy's favorite toy setting the velveteen rabbit on a magical journey to becoming a real rabbit.
