In a great green room, tucked away in bed, is a little bunny. "Goodnight room, goodnight moon." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room—to the picture of the three little bears sitting on chairs, to the clocks and his socks, to the mittens and the kittens, to everything one by one—the little bunny says goodnight.

A little bunny keeps running away from his mother in this imaginary game of hide-and-seek. Children will be profoundly comforted by this lovingly steadfast mother who finds her child every time. The Runaway Bunny, first published in 1942 and never out of print, has indeed become a classic. Generations have fallen in love with the gentle magic of its reassuring words.

This collection includes The Shy Little Kitten, Tootle, Home for a Bunny, The Three Bears, The Little Red Hen, and The Sailor Dog.

En una gran habitación verde, arropado en su cama, está un conejito. -- Buenas noches, habitación. -- Buenas noches, Luna -- dice el conejito. Y así sucesivamente, le da las buenas noches a todas las cosas que reconoce en su cuarto: al cuadro de los tres ositos sentaditos en sus sillas, a los relojes y a los calcetines, a los gatitos juguetones y a los lindos mitones. En este cuento clásico de la literatura infantil, adorado por generaciones de niños, la poesía que encierra su texto y la ternura de sus bellas ilustraciones con-vierten a éste en un libro ideal para culminar el día.

Cuando sale el sol y el día comienza, el conejito dice buen día a todas las cosas familiares. A las aves del cielo y las abejas en sus colmenas, a todos uno por uno. Y cuando el sol comienza a ocultarse, es hora para que el conejito diga buenas noches. Buenas noches, gatito. Buenas noches, osito. Buenas noches, personas de todo el mundo.
