Query: A Classic of Squashed Spirits

This is another "classic" that is disturbing. This is a tale of a small bunny who says he is going to run away from home. His mother tells him she will pursue him.For instance, the bunny says he will become a fish and swim away. The mother says she will become a fisherman and catch him. Each of these pairs is done illustrated with a black and white drawing (very nicely done) and a color spread (too garish and lacking the detail of the black and whites).In the end, the bunny's spirit is defeated and he resolves himself to staying home with his mother (Well then, I might as well just stay home). The underlying message is that you can not get away from your mother so you may as well not even try.This is my opinion, my wife's, and the four grandparents'. Friends with children have agreed with us about the depressing nature of this so-called classic. There are plenty of better books out there for our children.
