Literature for children is often designed to stimulate imagination through variants of the "real" world that we inhabit, expanding their potential for construing different possible worlds - variants that include imaginary characters like animals with human traits or toys that are somehow animated and conscious. Here we will examine one version of Margery William's classic nursery tale The Velveteen Rabbit, or How Toys Become Real, where the theme of "real" and imaginary characters and worlds is construed both linguistically and pictorially. We will show how the theme is construed in both text and image, and how the two complement one another, together keeping the two worlds apart while at the same time representing the Velveteen Rabbit's transformation from toy rabbit to real rabbit
