More About the Author
Margaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Even though she died over 45 years ago, her books still sell very well. Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading. She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem. She said she dreamed stories and then had to write them down in the morning before she forgot them. She tried to write the way children wanted to hear a story, which often isn't the same way an adult would tell a story. She also taught illustrators to draw the way a child saw things. One time she gave two puppies to someone who was going to draw a book with that kind of dog. The illustrator painted many pictures one day and then fell asleep. When he woke up, the papers he painted on were bare. The puppies had licked all the paint off the paper. Margaret died after surgery for a bursting appendix while in France. She had many friends who still miss her. They say she was a creative genius who made a room come to life with her excitement. Margaret saw herself as something else - a writer of songs and nonsense.

my bunny loves it,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Runaway Bunny (Hardcover)
I have called my little boy "baby bunny" since one sleep deprived night soon after he was born. Now, just 2, it is still a nickname that slips out from time to time, and as such he LOVES this book. we have read "good night moon" every night at bedtime for 2 years, but this book has replaced the old favorite. He requests it every night and at nap time. Today, while we were shopping, he ran gleefully though the store announcing that he was a "runaway bunny". We love to find the baby bunny in every picture.

Phenomenal Buy,
By
This review is from: The Runaway Bunny (Hardcover)
My five month old and I love this book!!!! The pictures are priceless, and the story's wonderful. The graphics transition from B&W with text and then to full layout color pages. If you or your child enjoy Goodnight Moon, you should enjoy this one as well.My only issue was with Amazon because they sent us a used book that someone wrote in, but they happily replaced it with another book (probably used as well but no writing this time).
4.0 out of 5 stars
Book's Good, but the CD Rocks!!!,
This review is from: The Runaway Bunny Lap Edition (Board book)
All the children to whom I have given this book enjoy it very much. However, I also always give the book along with the CD. With Brook Shields narrating, and wonderful music, the CD makes the book "read along" in a way that every child seems to really enjoy. I highly recommend the music/narrated version as well. Together, they are a great gift. I reall like the Brooke SHields/Glen Roven version.The Runaway Bunny/Paddington Bear's First Concert/Tubby the Tuba
