But they sort of are - the idea of a soul that takes animal form is so utterly brilliant.<BR/><BR/>Oh - just another two cents - the thing I love about wombat from Diary of a Womat is that she(?) is SUCH a wombat... and very patient with her dumb humans.<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-69610683317932122742009-03-10T10:57:00.000+11:002009-03-10T10:57:00.000+11:00Black Beauty!!Black Beauty!!A latte beckonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967372772145537800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-50843423113515266322009-03-08T19:30:00.000+11:002009-03-08T19:30:00.000+11:00Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb from Two Bad Mice, becau...Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb from Two Bad Mice, because they were so bad, and who could blame them?<BR/><BR/>Little Grey Rabbit, who was so put upon by that selfish Squirrel and that vain Hare, and yet she was so brave.<BR/><BR/>Old Pig.<BR/><BR/>But my two biggest shout outs go to:<BR/>Mrs Frisby and Nicodemus and well everyone from Mrs F and the rats of Nimh.<BR/><BR/>And John Brown and the Midnight Cat. Gosh I loved John Brown.<BR/><BR/>Wasn't the Velveteen Rabbit a toy rather than an animal? I never did quite get the becoming real part. Then again that does also rule out Piglet and Pooh but I'm not sure about Rabbit who may have actually belonged to the wild world, I am almost certain his friends and relations did, particular Alexander Beetle.Penni Russonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956453252195293843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-59411037811593810132009-03-06T23:56:00.000+11:002009-03-06T23:56:00.000+11:00I vote for Tabby from the Muddle Headed Wombat and...I vote for Tabby from the <I>Muddle Headed Wombat</I> and Toad from the <I>Frog and Toad</I>storiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-41261850871462256832009-03-06T16:15:00.000+11:002009-03-06T16:15:00.000+11:00comment update - I just engaged in a spot of googl...comment update - I just engaged in a spot of googling, and I guess the Velveteen Rabbit audio book I had wasn't abridged. I didn't realise it was so short.<BR/><BR/>(And back in the days of cassette tapes, rather than CDs, almost everything was abridged so you didn't have to lug around 50 tapes.)<BR/><BR/>--SusannahThe Alien Onionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037127806592724297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-5426598562558377912009-03-06T13:46:00.000+11:002009-03-06T13:46:00.000+11:00I cant BUHlieve we forgot Iorek!

But I had an abridged version on audio tape that I loved. I don't know who read it but she had the most beautiful gentle voice.<BR/><BR/>SusannahThe Alien Onionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037127806592724297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-19286480187879768482009-03-06T13:38:00.000+11:002009-03-06T13:38:00.000+11:00I second the Velveteen Rabbit.And IOREK BYRNISON!I second the Velveteen Rabbit.<BR/><BR/>And IOREK BYRNISON!lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362725678748958671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348056790070661555.post-22226038641966276332009-03-06T11:53:00.000+11:002009-03-06T11:53:00.000+11:00The velveteen rabbit!!!I get a bit teary just thin...The velveteen rabbit!!!<BR/><BR/>I get a bit teary just thinking about him.Nicki Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933295866435745305noreply@blogger.com
