by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd

When a little bunny decides to run away, his mother tells him, “If you run away, I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.'" And so begins a delightful, imaginary game of hide and seek. 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 loving mother finds a way of retrieving him. The soothing rhythm of the bunny banter and the dreamlike pictures never fail to infuse young readers with a sense of security and peace.

 

This classic story is now available in a board book edition for the younger child.
