In honor of Mother's Day, we recommend one of the most endearing mother-child stories around: Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny. It tells the story of Little Bunny, who imagines elaborate travel plans and wonders if his mother will follow him. But she assures him that no matter where he goes or what he does, she will always be there to bring him safely home.

With so many flashy new books to choose from, sometimes the classics get overlooked. Don't pass up the opportunity to share this gem with your little bunny! For other stories that have stood the test of time, check out Librarian Favorites: Classics List.
