 Written on November 29, 2007 Summary: Psycho OCD Stalking Parent Book or better titled, "How to Wear Down a Child Into Submission" Look, I am sure the author was trying to create a positive message. Really, I do give the benefit of the doubt. That said, this is one book I wish I read to myself before reading to my child. Its creepy. It says that "because I love you, I can follow you and make you come around to staying with me." There are some things that are "just not OK." This kind of behavior is not something that is ever acceptable. It is not something I want my child to emulate. It is not something that I want my child to experience because a book taught her this kind of behavior towards her is acceptable. Children look for meaning. They look to anything they experience for guidance on what is acceptable behavior. This includes television, video games, daycare, school, parent's behavior and books they read (or have read to them). From the other reviews posted here, it is clear that a significant percentage of people had he same impression. Its a safe bet that many children are looking to this book and picking up the same messages. Otherwise, the artwork is good. How about rewriting the text? A few careful edits on each page to give the message, wherever you go, whatever you do, mommy is always here for you and will protect you. And, when you are done with your day of exploration and adventure, mommy will be home, waiting for you to welcome you home with open arms and love. The images could then be taken as the metaphor of the parent giving the child the impression of independence but really hiding behind the tree like mine did when I wanted to go trick-or-treating on my own, making sure I was safe.  Written on November 18, 2007 Summary: Because you're MY LITTLE BUNNY One of my favorite books of hundreds that I read aloud to the children when they were little, I use it now to explain why I worry when they go on trips and come home late even though they are 30 and 27 (!!)  Written on November 10, 2007 Summary: An interesting book for kids! The book goes through an interesting narrative of a bunny who wants to run away and change form. But her mother chases her and catches her every time. My 4-year daughter likes it to start with but looses interest at times in between. May be the illustrations are not colourful enough to keep her fully engaged. More real-life situations perhaps might have kept them persistently interested. Written on September 18, 2007 Summary: How strong is a mothers love? A sweet tale, that reaches to illustrate that uniquely elusive bond between mother and child. It's just this type of love that promotes meaning and purpose into the lives of our children. A must read! It will surely tug on your heart-strings! Author/Illustrator Written on September 12, 2007 Summary: profound and solid expression of parental love Enchanting and delightful expression of the devotion of motherhood, and a gentle answer to something every child at one point says they will do "I'm going to run away!" And this is the point.....at some stage children discover and become more deeply aware that they are separate beings from their closest family, and this is both a frightening and inspiring idea. Even today our own political debates on libertarian verses communitarian policies is but this idea write large. And yet in "Runaway Bunny" this idea is not writ small...for the Mother Bunny always replies "if you run away, I will become...." Acknowledging the child's growing ability and independence, but also expressing devotion, attention, and care. Margaret Wise Brown is an unacknowledged genius of American letters and child psychology and I highly recommend her works, and especially Runaway Bunny. |
