The Runaway Bunny
Since its publication in 1942,The Runaway Bunnyhas never been out of print. Generations of sleepy children and grateful parents have loved the classics of Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd, includingGoodnight Moon.The Runaway Bunnybegins with a young bunny who decides to run away: &quot;'If you run away,' said his mother, 'I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.'&quot; And so begins a delightful, imaginary game of chase. No matter how many forms the little bunny takes--a fish in a stream, a crocus in a hidden garden, a rock on a mountain--his steadfast, adoring, protective mother finds a way of retrieving him. The soothing rhythm of the bunny banter--along with the surreal, dream-like pictures--never fail to infuse young readers with a complete sense of security and peace. For any small child who has toyed with the idea of running away or testing the strength of Mom's love, this old favorite will comfort and reassure.(Baby to preschool)
