Amazon.com Review
Since its publication in 1942, The Runaway Bunny has never been out of print. Generations of sleepy children and grateful parents have loved the classics of Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd, including Goodnight Moon. 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. (Baby to preschool)

Oedipal Bunny? August 14, 2010
Claudia Pearson (Birmingham, Alabama United States)
The Runaway Bunny and its companions Goodnight Moon and My World are a work of genius incorporating Oedipal theory into what is often incorrectly seen as the simplest form of literature: a picture book. Parents should be aware of the hidden messages in these books. Read Have a Carrot: Oedipal Theory and Symbolism in Margaret Wise Brown's Bunny Trilogy.
 Terrible story July 22, 2010

The book and pictures are fine, but the story is awful. The mother bunny is totally smothering - give the kid some space! Just because the little rabbit needs some space doesn't mean the love is not there. The only part I like is when the mother turns into a tree. At least the little rabbit can choose to fly back instead of being constantly hounded! I have to explain to my kids (2 and 3 years old) that it is okay for them to want to be alone sometimes whenever I read this book to them (which is not often).
 Not My Favorite Book July 21, 2010
Merrie (Boston, MA)
I bought this book for my 17 mo old b/c he is quite obsessed with Goodnight Moon and I like the black and white and color illustrations in both. I knew what The Runaway Bunny was about, but I don't feel that comfortable reading it to my child.
I understand that children need to feel secure in their world and know that their mothers are there for them. I understand that that is the book's message, I also feel like I am telling my child that I will thwart his attempts at independence.
I don't want him to think that is what mothers want for their children. I feel compelled to clarify this for him as I read it.
The illustrations are great though. A better book that deals with a child's autonomy is "I Love You Stinky Face".
 one of my favorite bedtime stories! June 6, 2010
momof3 (Ballston Spa, NY)
The Runaway Bunny is one of my all-time favorite bedtime stories. I read it to my children for years. Whenever I am giving a baby shower gift, I always tuck this book in the gift along with my two other favorites - Goodnight Moon and Guess How Much I Love You. We had the regular-sized board book, but when I recently went to order it, Amazon was out-of-stock so I bought the lap edition instead. Wow! What a great book! The large size is awesome and I highly recommend it. It will make a keepsake for years to come.

R. Colucci (USA)
My girlfriend reads this to her daughter every night. Being a single mother, it definitely reinforces the love a mother has for a child - and lets the child know that wherever they go - the mother will follow. If you believe in instilling these values in your child at a young age then this is the book for you. It's also a cute tale.
