Runaway Mummy: A Petrifying Parody





A hysterical (and gently spine-tingling) parody of a children's classic, perfect for little monsters on Halloween!

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!
