The bunny in this book wants to run away. His mother tells him that she will be there no matter where he goes or what he becomes. He sees that his mother is never going to give up on him so he decides to just be content with being her bunny. This is a very sweet story and I would do this for a read aloud in my class. I would only do it for kindergarten and 1st grade. Sine the story is about a bunny I think it would be a good idea to do it around Easter. ( )

My grandmother bought me this book when I was two years old. I found it at her house and it's funny to see that I am twenty years old now. This book is so sweet because the mother bunny cares so much for the baby bunny. The baby bunny is telling her how he wants to run away but the mother tells him that she will go the distance to find him. He ends up staying with is mother when the book ends.

This is a story about a little bunny who wanted to runaway from home. When he told his mother that he wanted to, she said that she would run after him. The story continues with the little bunny saying different things that he would do if his mother were to run after him. However, his mother responds to him by having a good idea of how to catch him if he tried to runaway. Eventually, the little bunny says that he might as well just stay at home and be her little bunny.
I would read this book to children in kindergarten and first grade. I thought this was a very cute story because it teaches children the love that their mothers have for them and also that their mothers always seem to have their best interest in mind. Another thing I liked about this book was that after each scenario, it showed a colorful picture of what that scenario would look like. ( )

This imaginative story is told through the eyes of a little bunny who is desperately trying to run away from his mother. He comes up with creative ways to "escape" her, but she can always be more creative and more imaginative and always finds ways to find him. In the end, the little bunny realizes that his mother will never let him run away and he decides to stay where he is and be her little bunny.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0061074292, Board book)

Since its publication in 1942, The Runaway Bunny has never been out of print. Generations of sleepy children and grateful parents have loved the classics of Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd, including Goodnight Moon. The Runaway Bunny begins with a young bunny who decides to run away: "'If you run away,' said his mother, 'I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.'" 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)
