The Runaway Bunny




Title: The Runaway Bunny
Author: Margaret Wise Brown
Copyright Date: 1942
Publisher: Scholastic Inc.

Possible Theme: Mothers, Love, Dedication

Personal Response: The Runaway Bunny was my favorite book as a child. I loved to look at the pictures and imagine a fun game of “catch me if you can”. This book is all about a mother’s love and dedication to her child. This book is a great read around the Mother’s Day holiday or wonderful as prediction lesson (what would the mother do next). This book is a classic that all children should hear and all mothers can relate to.

Student Journal Entry: Why do you think some of the pictures are black and white while others are color? If you were the bunny where would you hide? Can you think of any new places? Write about a new place and how the mother would find little bunny at last.

Activity: Act out the Runaway Bunny’s adventures. Play a game of tag with your teacher (pretend you are the little bunny).

* During Halloween I always read the parody The Runaway Mummy by Michael Rex (funny).
