Book Review of The Runaway Bunny

The Runaway Bunny
reviewed on + 61 more book reviews


Runaway bunny declares that he is running away but his mother vows to run after him if he does. So Runaway bunny imagines various other things he could become to prevent his mother from catching him. In each instance, his mother merely invents a new identity for herself to match his. If he becomes a flower, she will become a gardener. If he becomes a sailboat, she will become the wind. Because he will always be her little bunny. Very charming illustrations alternating between color images and black and white are used to demonstrate each of bunny's alternate incarnations. This book is used by the Before Five in a Row curriculum.
