Abstract

The Runaway Bunny is a simple story of a little rabbit playing language hide and seek with his mother.

The rabbit said to his mother, “I’m going to run away!”

“If you run away,” mother said, “I’ll go after you, because you are my baby!”

A love game of hide and seek begins: the little rabbit goes from heaven to earth, but no matter whether he disguises himself as a fish in the river, a flower in the garden, the mother who is chasing him closely behind can always catch him. Finally, the little rabbit was tired of running away. She snuggled up to her mother and said that I would not run any more. So her mother fed him a carrot symbolizing love.

The fleeing rabbit can always make young readers feel a kind of serene and serene pleasure. Because almost every young child once fantasized about leaving home like a little rabbit in the game, testing his mother’s love for himself in this way, and the little rabbit’s experience, like their own game, brought them a wonderful sense of security.

Simple, charming and poetic, it is a bedtime story that makes children feel warm.

After 80 years of publication, The runaway rabbit never out of print, and indeed became a classic. Generation after generation of readers have fallen in love with the gentle charm of its reassuring words and loving pictures. The sturdy cardboard pages make this edition’s beloved stories perfect for babies and toddlers.

Margaret Wise Brown likes small animals, and many stories take animals as the protagonists. She likes to write stories with rhythm. Sometimes, she will put a difficult word in the story or poem. She thinks that this will let children think about it when they read it. She has a lot of paper manuscripts on hand, which is convenient for her to write down a story inspiration or poem in time. She said that she would dream about those stories, and when she woke up in the morning, she had to write them down quickly in case she forgot. She has always tried to write from the perspective of children listening to stories, not from the perspective of adults telling stories. She also suggested and guided the illustrators she worked with to learn to draw from the perspective of children’s perspective. Once, she gave an illustrator two dogs. The illustrator wanted to draw a book with such dogs. The illustrator drew many sketches one day and then fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that the paper he had painted was empty. It turned out that the two dogs licked up the pictures on the paper. In 1952, on her way to France, she died during her recovery from appendicitis surgery. Many friends have been missing her. They say she is a creative genius.
