Welcome to makeup search, my name is Gabe.

Makeup the best podcast ever.

Tell your friends. Hey, aye, yiup. I'm your host, Amanda. Several episodes ago, I shared with you that the Velveteen rabbit is one of my favorite stories from when I was a kid,

and I challenged you to find made-up stories that are inspired in some way by the Velveteen

Rabbit. You sent in some very clever answers, and I'm excited to share those with you now.

Cade, who's six years old and lives in Washington State, wrote in and told us that he thinks our story about Jesse and the magical backpack is inspired by the Velveteen rabbit.

Because in the magical backpack story, Jesse's backpack is normal, but then it becomes magical, just like the

velveteen rabbit does in the velveteen rabbit. I think that's a great answer, Kade. I can see how

both of those stories have themes about regular everyday objects that turn out to be magical

in some way or that become magical. Thank you for sharing

that idea with us. We also heard from a few listeners who found make-up stories where toys come

alive, and they thought that that was an important connection between those stories and the

Velveteen rabbit. Let's hear from a couple of

those listeners with their thoughts. My name is Marlowe. I'm six years old, and I think it's the

soldier one who's similar because they're both suffeys and toys. Bye. My name is Stella and I am six years old and I live in Melbourne, Australia and I think the two

stories are Jonah and the magical gardener and Macy and the Real Unicorn.

Because they both have the tears and they both have the toy coming alive.

Myka's shows is the best. Tell your friends.

Lelani noticed another similarity between Macy and the Real Unicorn and the Velveteen rabbit. I think the episode is Macy and the Real Unicorn and the Velveting Rabbit.

I think the episode is Macy and the Real Unicorn.

And why do you think that?

Because they both have a flower that comes out of the tear and a fairy steps out.
