The Runaway Bunny submitted by SBNB on July 2, 2017, 10:20pm This book seemed familiar. I think it’s a classic. It’s cute and sweet. Nice additional material in this edition.

A classic submitted by hsucc on June 14, 2019, 10:24pm The runaway bunny is about the loving and creative forms of relationship between a mother and her child. My kid likes to identify the little bunny in every page.

Oddly polarizing submitted by FordAlpha on July 19, 2023, 10:03pm Count me firmly in the "'The Runaway Bunny' is super creepy" camp. It's true that kids have a taste for the bizarre that few writers have tapped into quite like Margaret Wise Brown, and I've come to appreciate her work better than I did when I first received a "Good Night Moon" board book at my baby shower for my oldest child (me: "goodnight nobody?? goodnight mush??!!"). Still, I can't stomach "The Runaway Bunny"; Mom needs to let Bunny go now and then. Note, however, that I can't stomach "Mommy loves baby so much that she will never ever let baby go" picture books in general, so your mileage may vary.
