Rosie Runs Away
by Maryann Macdonald
 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet

The Story:

"Rosie [is] a winsome rabbit whose baby brother, Fat Mat, has taken over the household. In an effort to be helpful, Rosie carts her brother off on a mud-pie making and blueberry picking expedition – with predictably grubby results. Mama, needless to say, is not pleased; Rosie is sent to her room to play, but elects instead to run away…"
- Publisher’s Weekly

What critics say:

"Any child who has ever felt misunderstood or unappreciated will sense an instant kinship with Rosie."
-Publisher’s Weekly

"Reassuring." - Booklist

"Beginning readers will have little trouble with the short sentences and large type, and young listeners will enjoy the pictures of Rosie and her sweet surroundings."
- School Library Journal

What a reader says:

"Love that Rosie! She's the most adorable bunny ever!"
- Maryann's mom, Michigan
