THE RUNAWAY BUNNY

Robin Miles offers an exceptional rendition of Margaret Wise Brown's iconic tale of a little bunny and his reassuring mother. By plucking every emotional chord ever so deftly, Miles's narration reflects the loving bond expressed in the story's call-and-response structure. Her melodic cadence reflects Brown's poetic writing. Miles's little bunny is inquisitive, playful, and bristling with childlike indignation as he muses about becoming a fish or a crocus in a hidden garden, or even a circus acrobat. Mother Bunny volleys back to her little one's exploration of independence with her unconditional love and steadfast warmth. In a short span, Miles's narration leaves listeners moved. Young listeners and their adults now have a remarkable aural accompaniment to this cherished classic. E.A.N.
