In this adorable companion to Goodnight Moon, a bunny imagines that he's runaway from his family. He asks his mother "What if?", and she replies that no matter where he goes, she'll find him through some cute examples. Although the book is not as fast pace as some of its contemporaries, it is a darling read that is a definite children's classic. Loved by kids everywhere, this book is a must for a baby shower or first birthday gift!
"The Runaway Bunny" by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd ("Goodnight Moon" illustrator), is over 50 years old, but it is timeless in both its pictures and language. Beautiful color pictures alternate with pen and ink illustrations of the little bunny and his mother. No matter where the little bunny imagines himself to be, his mother answers that she will be there with him, taking care of him. The reason I love this book so much is that it is written to say the things I would like to reassure my own children of: unconditional love and caring. Yet it is done in such an illustrative fashion that even very young children understand the message. The illustrations are also entertaining to children--imagine the little bunny as a sailboat with his ears shaped as the sails! This is a book that no home library should be without. When your children are grown you'll look forward to reading it to grandchildren. And for the rare adult who has never read "The Runaway Bunny," it is a worthwhile read, almost Zen-like in its simplicity and depth.Read full review
Very nice. Good condition
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This was my son's favorite book as a child and now I want to buy it and read it to my grandson. I always had a hard time getting through it without tearing up. If you want a wonderful book for a little one, maybe a gift for a first or second birthday, you can't find any better than The Runaway Bunny. It is definitely a classic with a theme of unconditional mother's love.
My daughter loves her books so I decided to purchase her own instead of renewing int continuously at the library.
