    About Runaway Mummy: a Petrifying Parody

    A hysterical (and creepy) parody of a children’s classic!

    Filled with uproarious illustrations, a beloved classic gets a kindhearted send-up in this utterly monsterized parody from Michael Rex, creator of the New York Times bestselling Goodnight Goon. This is The Runaway Bunny like you’ve never seen it before. Kids will dig the vast array of terrible monsters, but parents will love the sweet sentiment. A fabulous Halloween treat for all those little monsters!

    About Runaway Mummy: a Petrifying Parody

    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!

    Praise

    “[A] comical take on Margaret Wise Brown’s tender classic.” –The New York Times Book Review

    “Rex . . . pokes monstrous fun at another Margaret Wise Brown/Clement Hurd collaboration, The Runaway Bunny. . . Rex fondly and cleverly imitates the original, echoing its tenderness even as he mocks it.” –Publishers Weekly
