Pros: Tells about the love and devotion a mother has for her children no matter the circumstance. Cons: none
How many times have our little bunnies told us in anger they want to run away. How many times have they told us they were going to runaway, testing their boundaries and just to see how much we really love them?
I know that I have packed bags...

Pros: a book that so beautiful describes a mother's constant unwavering unconditional love Cons: there are none
it would probably astound me to know how many generations and how many children have curled up and gone to sleep to this beautiful story of a mother's unconditional, constant love - to imagine that love wrapping its warmth around so many children, makes...

Pros: Provides a warm, wonderful, and reassuring message of maternal love to a young audience. Cons: Nothing.
Originally copyrighted in 1942, Margaret Wise Brown's 'The Runaway Bunny' is timeless. The story of a precocious, little bunny who prematurely tests his boundaries and wants to go out into the world and a selfless, reassuring mother bunny who gently ...

Pros: Beautiful, warm and charming Cons: not a one
I read this little board book most nights to my two year old son. It's another one that we both agree on because of the warm illustrations, and beautiful prose. I think we both like the illustration of the mother bunny fishing for her baby bunny the...

Pros: A "feel good" book for children Cons: NONE

Pros: Wonderful story, relevant theme for toddlers Cons: None really
My son is almost three and is at the stage where he is trying to assert some independence (while making absolutely certain that I am right behind him keeping an eye over things).
I bought the board book version of The Runaway Bunny, by...

Pros: great story Cons: none
This has been one of my daughters favorites for a long time now and I agree with her fully. Like "Goodnight Moon" it makes an excellent book to read at bedtime and the board book edition is great for the smallest children (they can't rip the...

Pros: Great story, interesting pictures Cons: some may feel pictures are stark/spooky
This book is among my top 10 to read aloud to my 1 year old. It accurately explores the dichotomous relationship of a toddler's wish for independence from his mother and his need to feel secure that she will always be there.
The dialogue...

Pros: extremely reassuring to child when read to by mother Cons: none, unless the book is unread by loving caretaker to child
Someone else's review title gave the message: "If you run away, I will find you." The message is unconditional love and protectiveness, presented with imaginative artwork to illustrate the mother-bunny-narrator's claims of how she would find her bunny...

Pros: So touching...deals beautifully with parental love. Cons: Not sure I can read it aloud without crying.
I have never read this book to a child. I checked it out at the library to read to my class for Mother's Day, but I chickened out because I was afraid it would make me cry.
Recently, I bought the book because I'm starting a book collection...
