Summary: A Family Favourite
Review: This bb is, simply put, great. The drawings & story appeal to everyone in one in our home, from the 10 month old baby to the 11 year old boys & our 18 year old french student (and we can't forget Mom & Dad too!). I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An All Time Classic
Review: A wonderful book with a heart warming message, I've given this book in the hardcover edition to a couple of adult friends who needed to be be reminded that like the bunnies mother, God Himself pursues us even when we run away. I've also read it aloud to my wife a few times, just to remind her that I love her.

As for the little cardboard edition, it is currently one of my daughters favorites, it is just the right size for her little six month old hands to manipulate and I love reading it over and over to her. A very strong recommendation, and a great gift for a baby, child or even the adult that needs a little reminder that they are loved.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Smothering Tale
Review: I bought this book as a result of reviews here at Amazon,
and was horrified at what I found. In the story, the child
rabbit wants to separate from his mother. For each method
he comes up with, the mother tells how she will, in effect,
hunt down the child. I did not get the feeling of the mother's
love from this; rather, I felt that the mother was asserting
her "ownership" over the child. Had she expressed her love
and sadness that the child wanted to run away, and her support
for him, this could have been a wonderful tale. Instead,
I find it frightening to contemplate for an adult, no less
a child. . .

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: this book terrified me as a little kid!
Review: The moral is: wherever you go, Mom will find you? She will change herelf to stay with you? There is no escape, so really, it's a waste of time to pretend? It's best just to be "your little bunny and stay right here?" Not exactly stuff that makes you sleep easy at night, even if you are two years old. On the other hand, Mom liked this one a lot. And if anybody has seen the movie "Wit" on HBO, this book does work well as a Christian allegory.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Scary Book
Review: This book reads like a stalker tale. I think it's completely inappropriate for children of any age. I understand the message it's trying to convey - that the mother bunny would never lose her baby - but it reads like a horrible nightmare. I don't understand why this book would ever be considered a "classic."

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice artwork but odd theme
Review: The artwork of this book is quaint, but the theme is a bit strange. A baby bunny threatening the various ways it will leave it's mother, and the mother bunny countering with all of the ways she will hunt it down or get it back. Sort of odd.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: MMMMM..........
Review: Well - at first I didn't like the book - the format is different, but my son seemed to like it. This is not one of his favoriates, but he does enjoy the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book For Parent To Share With Their Child
Review: I bought this book for my Neice. I read it as a child. This is a great book for a child to learn the length and extent of a parents love for a child. I like the meeting of the minds being played out in this book. I thank Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd and their families for sharing this book as well as the other stories and illustrations they have done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Book every Mom Should Have!!!
Review: A book about a mother's unconditional love, this book is best when shared! It was a favorite with all three of my sons when they were little - it was also a favorite of mine. This is definitely a "snuggle up" kind of book; it's warm and fuzzy without being silly. The little bunny dreams up creative ways of running away and the mother bunny comes up with ways of bringing him back that are lovingly creative. If you know a new mom (or are one yourself) be sure they have a copy of this classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Loved it- I almost cried the first time I read it (big sap!)
Review: This story is an imaginative and verbal game of hide-and-seek a small bunny plays with his mother. When the bunny informs her that he is going to run away, the mother tells him she will follow. When he tells her he will become a rock and rest atop the highest mountain, his mother calmly tells him she will become a rock climber and find him. I don't see this, as one reviewer saw it, as a mother's inability to let her child live his own life, because hey- the bunny is supposed to be like a toddler, not a teenager! The book was written in 1942 when family relationships and values were different, but I still think the books message holds true today. The mother bunny will do whatever she has to do to be with her baby, not to keep tabs on him or control him, but to have him in her life. Margaret Brown died at a young age in 1952, and yet, her books have NEVER gone out of print and have always remained classics. That's testimony enough, even for me.
