Summary
The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
We’re not told why, but the little bunny wants to run away from home. His imagination takes him on many adventures. But his mother never ceases to follow him and become or do whatever it takes to make sure she rescues him, from a trapeze artist to a tree. Margaret Wise Brown’s classic story of a little bunny makes an ideal springboard for mini lessons focused on making predictions and connections while identifying the author’s comprehensive message.
