The Velveteeen Rabbit

The Velveteeen Rabbit is also a picture book, but it is obviously a picture book for older children. Describe three aspects of the story that indicate this book is meant for, say 7-11 year-olds rather than 3-6 year-olds. I suggest that you focus on the protagonist, the story content and the illustrations as the three aspects, but feel free to address alternative issues.
