I still remember my mother reading this book before bedtime. I still own the oversize-book to this day. It is a hold-hold classic in my opinion. The cute little bunny wants to try his own sense of independence and he does so by running away. However his mother counters each of his arguments by saying she will follow where him wherever he goes. So, he decides to stay!
The illustrations switch from sketchily-drawn and black and white when with the text, but then magnificently come to life with bright radiant colors. Those pages tell the story so well I understand Brown did not include any words on those pages. Beautifully drawn, beautifully painted images, and beautiful story. A+
