This is an example of my inability to comment on the merits of a book without being influenced by my memories of how my own children reacted to it. We read this a million times - it's reassuring for children to know that no matter what happens, mom (or dad) will be there...in control and providing care...in imaginary situations and in real life (as affirmed by the closing sentence, "Have a carrot.")

The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
Audio version so I am not seeing the colorful pictures.
A little bunny wants to run away and he explains how to his mother he will keep away from her.
She explains to him what she will become and how she will find him and she will get him back.
Love the part where she will give him a hug.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

There are few things more charming than this book. I've normally not found it much use at story time, but with only six two-year-olds today, it worked quite well--everyone could come up and find the little bunny in each picture.

Right from the start I didn't like the storyline. I also didn't like the drawings. Everything was so blend and boring. Could have been so much more, missed change!

I read this book so much when I was a kid, I'm just gonna mark that I read it in 2010 because I can't remember when I actually read it last.

I don't remember how I felt about it as a kid, but I love it as a pre-school teacher. I love how every other page is a beautiful two-page color painting.

La traducción española es tan bonita como el texto original.

This book is as sweet as I remember it! I can’t remember the last time I read (or was read) this book, but I think it must have been when my youngest sister was 5 or younger. Soooo several decades! The illustrations alternate between black and white line drawings and full color spreads. The message is that your parent will always be there for you, no matter how far you go or what you become. This isn’t always the case in real life, but it is a comforting dream. Lots of nostalgia for this book!
