The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown illustrated by Clement Hurd

Summary of The Runaway Bunny

Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away. No matter how or where he decided to hop, his mother is always there – for she loved her little bunny very much. The classic bed-time story can also serve as an allegory for God’s love.

Go Along Books

Go along books are one of my families favorite ways to row in the Five in a Row curriculum. We loved ending our week with a reading marathon or starting a new week with a fresh FIAR book that coordinated with the week prior.

Go alongs are also a great way to revisit a special topic during a review week or free reading time.
