A hysterical (and creepy) parody of a children's classic!

Filled with uproarious illustrations, a beloved classic gets a kindhearted send-up in this utterly monsterized parody from Michael Rex, creator of the New York Times bestselling Goodnight Goon. This is The Runaway Bunny like you've never seen it before. Kids will dig the vast array of terrible monsters, but parents will love the sweet sentiment. A fabulous Halloween treat for all those little monsters!

About the Author

Michael Rex lives in New Jersey. He's a big fan of The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd but feels that it's biased against giant trampling monsters and man-eating plants.

My son loves “Goodnight Goon” and anything monster/Halloween related. He wanted this when he saw it so I got it for him for his 5th birthday (just before Halloween.) He enjoyed it and so did I. I didn’t know what exactly to expect, but thought the retorts between Mother Mummy and her son were familiar and funny. Fun little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever parody, beautiful illustrations.

My son loves this book!!!! He isn't very familiar with the original, but I find it far more enjoyable to read. The pictures are so vivid & detailed & the descriptions so funny. In one of image, a character from the author's other book, Good Night Goon, is visible, which inevitably makes my son laugh & ask to read that book next. I highly recommend. Very goofy & fun. I think he will only enjoy it more as he grows up & learns what more of the words mean (he's almost 2 right now).

4.0 out of 5 stars A parody to make you smile
Reviewed in Canada on November 19, 2013

The Runaway Bunny is such a poignant book to read to kids and has a heart warming message. This parody does a great job of capturing that same message with a mummy and monsters that still makes me, and my girls, smile. If you have read the bunny version, give this one a try.
