This is a good example of fantasy because toys are talking and interacting with each other, but it is relates to children on their level about special toys, playing, being sick, etc. The rabbit is sad when the boy moves on to a new rabbit, which is a human emotion in a nonliving thing.
The main character, the rabbit, changes from a toy at the beginning to a real rabbit at the end and thus becomes round.

This classic book of the velveteen rabbit is about a rabbit who becomes very special to a boy. However, one day the boy gets scarlet fever and when he is better his bunny must be burned with all the other toys he had touched. The velveteen rabbit is turned into a real life bunny because of his love for the boy.
The classic Velveteen Rabbit can be an opener to a writing project by having student write and illustrate (art component) their own stories about a toy that they have maybe lost or still have. Emphasize attention to details as the author does when describing the rabbits features.
