124 FBGT: Runaway Bunny Traditional Cache

Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. ... Even after children learn to read by themselves, it's still important for you to read aloud together.

As a parent, teacher, and grandparent – I have found no greater pleasure in life than READING. Reading aloud to students, children, and now grandchildren provides an opportunity to STOP in your busy life and pick up a book and give time to books. The trail’s last 25 books are Isla’s and Teaghan’s favorite books that Nannie and their mother reads to them often.

FBGT: Runaway Bunny
By Margaret Wise Brown
Illustrated by Clement Hurd (Goodnight Moon), and in continuous publication since 1942, the book tells the story of a mother's unconditional love for her child. As her baby bunny tells her of his plans to run away, the pair engage in a make-believe game of chase, where she morphs into a variety of forms and characters (a crocus and a mountain climber) to find him, no matter how far away he travels.
