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!
MICHAEL REX is the creator of over thirty books for children, including the number one bestseller Goodnight Goon and the Fangbone! series. He also illustrated With Any Luck, I'll Drive a Truck (by David Friend). He was inspired to create Icky Ricky by his two boys, Declan and Gavin, who are fine young citizens, but very disgusting. Gavin eats ketchup on cake, and Declan uses a marker to color his belly button. Along with the boys, Mr. Rex lives with his wife and their dog, Roxy, in Leonia, New Jersey. Both his wife and the dog are not disgusting at all. Visit him at www.michaelrex.blogspot.com. You won’t get dirty. View titles by Michael Rex
