Incorrect Summary The description of the content, or summary, of The Velveteen Rabbit is completely incorrect. The boy did not reject the rabbit for a masculine toy, nor did he turn the rabbit real by the fireplace. Even the entry on Wikipedia for The Velveteen Rabbit contradicts this entry. I'm fixing it.

The Velveteen Rabbit has a huge following and it justly deserves all the recognition it has ever received as a famed children's book, yet I believe this passion still has no place to bias the text against her other works. This wiki-author blatantly compares her works with no reference, explaining that another book is more entitled to classic status, even though the summary of the first title is completely wrong.

This is an explanation of my changes to the text. ~ Asher
