Runaway Mummy - by Michael Rex (Board Book)

About the Book

A little mummy who wants to run away tells his mother how he will escape, but no matter what horrible creature he claims he will become or where he plans to go, she promises to be there with him.

Book Synopsis

Another hilariously spine-tingling parody of a childhood classic by the creator of the New York Times bestselling Goodnight Goon. Now in board!

Mike Rex has created a delightful, monster-y romp that reinterprets the classic picture book about motherly love, The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd. In this parody, the little mummy comments on his mother's sometimes overly exuberant love, and the escalation of their outrageous ideas for leaving and (of course) finding each other will make modern day parents and kids laugh aloud.

A fabulous Halloween treat for every little monster!
