Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Richard Armitage’s narration in this audiobook of ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ is nothing short of magical. His soothing voice and clear articulation make every word feel precious. The story unfolds with a gentle pace that allows the listener to fully absorb the narrative, making even the most familiar parts feel fresh. Armitage’s performance is particularly noteworthy in how he brings the rabbit’s transformation into life: his tone shifts subtly as the rabbit gains more understanding and love from the boy, culminating in an emotional climax. However, some might find the length a bit short at just 24 minutes, which could leave them wanting more of this charming tale.
