""Once there was a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid," says Meryl Streep with George Winston playing piano in the background. This recording delicately combines George Winston's incredible talent with the lovely tale of a toy rabbit who "longs to become real." This story is simple enough for children to understand but refined enough for adults to enjoy. I recommend it to anyone who wants to prolong the magic of imagination long enough to raise their children, grandchildren, or others' children. It's a great gift for any child or child-at-heart who is ill, going through a rough time, or having troubles calming down to rest at night. It's also ideal for the parent with a rush-hour life who needs a moment in George Winston's piano-magic world while their children get entertained by a story. My grandparents bought the cassette for me when I was just 6 years old, and I can still quote most of the first side from memory. Now, in adulthood, I continue to enjoy the comfort of a soothing piano and a good story. I love this recording, and I know it will warm its way into your heart too."
