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
