This book is written for little kids, so the language and subject matter are pretty easy to understand.
Of course, just because a story's aimed at children doesn't mean it's basic. The Velveteen Rabbit is about some big topics: the way that love transforms us; the bonds of friendship we form. Those are ginormous issues, packed into a book about a little bunny.
