Summary

"When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become real."

This gentle rendition comes alive through Meryl Streep's soothing narration and George Winston's beautiful music score. Ages four and up.

The Valverteen Rabbit

What a lovely story to read to younger children or play to them.
Meryl Street has a very lovely voice & it really settles you can really relax listening to the music and Meryl.

Background music too loud

It’s a strain to listen to the story due to loudness of background music. Listen to the sample before purchase
