Reach for this book when your child is beginning to assert their independence but still needs the reassuring safety net of your unconditional presence. It is the perfect choice for a child who enjoys a bit of 'spooky' fun or for parents who want to introduce the concept of steadfast love through a lens of humor and imagination rather than sentimentality. A clever and 'monsterized' parody of the classic The Runaway Bunny, this story follows a little mummy who threatens to run away in various ghastly forms. Each time, his mother promises to follow him in an equally creative, monstrous way to ensure he is never truly lost. While the imagery includes skeletons, pits of snakes, and zombies, the underlying message is one of profound security: no matter how far you go or how much of a 'little monster' you act like, I will always find you and keep you safe.
