Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
This is the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in darkness but covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl with a simple, impossible wish. These characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and ultimately, into each other's lives.

Story4 out of 5 stars 906
Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

The music is distracting
What did you like best about The Velveteen Rabbit? What did you like least?
This was a great rendition of the Velveteen Rabbit, with the exception of the music playing over Meryl Streep's voice in some parts.

Turn the music down!
Unfortunately, Meryl Streep is completely drowned out by loud and distracting music throughout the entire story.

Hard to hear
The story is lovely, Meryl Streep also does a great job, but the music throughout is too loud and over-powers her voice at times and make is all but impossible to hear at times.

Sound could have been better
I love this story and wanted my kids to hear it, but I feel like the music was louder than the narrator. The Sounds could have been balanced a little better.

Enchanting story
Where does The Velveteen Rabbit rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's good and could of been great but sometimes the music almost drowned out the narration. I wish that the music was a little lower or Miss. Streep had read a little bit louder.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Velveteen Rabbit?
When the Velveteen Rabbit was told by the skin horse what it was like to become real from nursery magic.
Which character – as performed by Meryl Streep – was your favorite?
The Velveteen Rabbit
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It made me sad when the rabbit was about to be burned.
Any additional comments?
Really good book by rabbit ears. I look forward to more.
