An imaginative game of leaving—and being found

A young bunny imagines a series of escapes, while his mother answers each one with a promise to follow. Their back-and-forth turns hide-and-seek into a simple portrait of steadfast parental care: every new imagined distance is met with connection. First published in 1942, Margaret Wise Brown’s picture-book classic builds its meaning through repetition and the changing forms of the bunny’s game, keeping the focus on the bond between parent and child.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children sharing bedtime or lap-reading time with a parent or caregiver
  • Families seeking a story centered on reassurance and attachment
  • Fans of Margaret Wise Brown’s classic children’s books

The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown, beloved children's book author of Goodnight Moon.

"If you run away," said his mother, "I will run after you. For you are my little bunny."

A little bunny keeps running away from his mother in this imaginary game of hide-and-seek. Children will be profoundly comforted by this lovingly steadfast mother who finds her child every time.

The Runaway Bunny, first published in 1942 and never out of print, has indeed become a classic. Generations of readers have fallen in love with the gentle magic of its reassuring words and loving pictures.
