The Velveteen Rabbit – School Season

Presented by PLD

Based on the book by Margery Williams

He’s a little worn. A little shabby. And absolutely everything to one small boy.

In a playroom bursting with bossy bulldozers, a wise old horse, a flying fairy and a toy box full of colourful characters desperate to be chosen, one small rabbit waits quietly. Patiently. Hopefully.

Told with warmth and beautiful puppetry, this classic story invites young learners to consider the power of friendship, imagination, and what makes something truly real.
