The Runaway Bunny

As the season changes, farm animals make their home and find warmth in the barn where a calf is born. Handsome, realistic illustrations in the artist’s signature style depict the animals in a cozy barn with an attentive farmer.

The youngster prepares for sleep, bidding goodnight to the room and all objects in it, including the moon and the old lady who whispers “hush.” Sleep comes softly in this cozy classic.

A dozen original lullabies by the author of Good Night Moon are presented here for the first time. Each sweet piece has been newly illustrated by a well-known illustrator in distinctive styles, ranging from Melissa Sweet to Sean Qualls. A CD is included. 

Round faced children watch animals prepare for bedtime in this soothing tale in a newly illustrated edition of an earlier book by Margaret Wise Brown. The alphabet is used as the device to countdown from A to children who “…zip into bed,/not another peep/go to sleep!”
