- A Pleasure to Listen toI love the story of the Velveteen Rabbit, it's been a favorite since I saw a Showtime presentation of this very recording. This is an enhanced CD with the voice of Meryl Streep and the piano of George Winston. Although much of the music is available on his more popular December album, there are other bits and pieces that are fresh and welcome. Additionally, following the presentation of the story narration, all the songs are repeated without narration. Pop the CD into your computer and you can see visual extras, including sheet music. This is worth the price of purchase. Customer review - 2003-04-02
- Great Bedtime CDI had the tape of this when it first came out in the 80's. I have since worn the cassette out. It blends Meryl Streep's calming voice with the soothing music of George Winston. Of course lets not forget the great story of the Velveteen Rabbit. Every family should have a copy of this album.

- ExquistiteThis album is absolutely beautiful. When I was a small child, I listened to this cassette over and over, and I couldn't fall asleep without it. The story is a classic, of course, but there is more to the album than that. Meryl Streep narrates the story wonderfully. Her voice is enchanting. The music throughout the album is beautiful, and very haunting.
I think every child should have a copy of this. It inspires a love of storytelling, music, and reading.

- an improvement on the original releasei used to listen to this vinyl wishing that i could hear winston's piano solos without the narration. don't get me wrong, meryl streep does a great job, but having the option of listening to only the piano would have been great. and now that wish has been granted, making this an essential for any fan of george winston or great piano in general.

- It doesn't get better than this!Friends of my parents had the audio cassette of this when I was a young kid (back in the 80s). They made a copy for me and my brother and we wore it out playing it every single night. To this day, I have the story memorized. Meryl Streep is a wonderful narrator and George Winston's beautiful, poignant music brings it to life. You simply cannot find a better version of this story. When the 20th Anniversary Edition came out, I snatched it up and was delighted to find that they put both narrated and un-narrated tracks on it. It's such a beautiful story! Both children and adults alike can enjoy it for many years.
I concur with another reviewer who wrote that no household should be without it!
