Why I Love This BookWhy do I love this book? I love it because it's beautiful
However, it's not just beautiful to look at, but the message is beautiful as well. The Runaway Bunny was groundbreaking was first published back in 1942, a full five years before Goodnight Moon, another book by Margaret Wise Brown. At the time of this post, The Runaway Bunny was celebrating its 80th year in publication! During that 80 year time span, this book has never been out of print. This is a comforting story that generations of readers have loved. My favorite part has to be the illustrations. The colors are rich and vibrant with just the right amount of detail. There's a sneaky book-to-book connection with one spread of illustration. In this classic, a sweet little bunny decides that he's going to run away. He imagines that he turns into a fish, a rock, a crocus, a sailboat, and even a boy. However, by the end of the story he realizes that what he really wants is to be a bunny and be at home with his mother. Themes
