Trixie, Daddy, and Knuffle Bunny take a trip to the neighborhood Laundromat. But the exciting adventure takes a dramatic turn when Trixie realizes somebunny was left behind . . .
This 2005 Caldecott Honor book uses a combination of muted black-and-white photographs and expressive illustrations and tells a brilliantly true-to-life tale about what happens when Daddy’s in charge and things go terribly, hilariously wrong.

Summary: A Cautionary Tale for Parents
Comment: None of my friends warned me that this book is dangerously addictive.
It started off innocently enough. When I brought it home, our 20-month-old daughter was curious as she always is whenever she reads a new book for the first time. I was captivated as well by the combination of illustrations against photos of Brooklyn (where we live). As we went along, our daughter started to cry when she saw how upset Trixie was -- big tears and bawling from both little girls. All was well when Trixie was reunited with her Knuffle Bunny; our daughter laughed and grabbed her cherished giraffe.
Then she wanted to read it again, and again, and again...It has been a week since we got Knuffle Bunny and we've read nothing else. She started asking for "Nuff Bunny." Now it's "Trixie! Trixie!" as soon as she gets up in the morning. Last night, I had to resort to hiding the book and pulling out as many old favorites as possible. After reading Knuffle Bunny 15+ times a day (with my daughter going to daycare 9 hours a day 5 days a week), I feel I must caution parents about this book!
Mo Willems has created an exceptional book that taps perfectly into my child's world, from trying to make herself understood to her love for her "Raff" to her anxiety when Raff is seemingly lost ("Trixie crying!") to finding Raff again ("Hug Bunny").
I will be buying this book as presents and slapping a warning label on it.

Summary: I didn't think we'd like this book as much as we did!
Comment: My son and I went into this book not expecting much. However, he loved it when she started saying "Aggle Flaggle Blaggle!!!!" And because I thought the best funniest part was when she went "boneless" (I can SOOO relate to that!) I read it kind of like I would read the word "BOING!!!" and he giggles for the rest of the book. This really is a good book. I thought it would be too juvenile for my almost 4 year old but he really likes it after reading it 2-3 times now.

Summary: Knuffle Bunny = BeeWee
Comment: My 3½ year old little daughter LOVES the Pigeon books by Mo Willems, and she hoped to use her Christmas gift card to buy another Pigeon book. But it turns out that we own them all. She was looking extremely sad and disappointed, until she spied another Mo Willems classic on the rack - KNUFFLE BUNNY. She was immediately drawn to the cover with the little girl, Trixie, carrying her "snuggle bunny." My wee one carries her version of a snuggle bunny, BeeWee, with her everywhere. She had an instant connection with KNUFFLE BUNNY, and she could not wait to get it home.
In KUFFLE BUNNY, daddy takes Trixie on an errand to the laundromat. Trixie and daddy have a great time, and they actually get the laundry in the washing machine. On the way home, Trixie suddenly discovers that her KUFFLE BUNNY is missing! She tries to tell daddy what is wrong, but Trixie is too young to talk. In tears and full of frustration, daddy and Trixie finally make it back home. Mommy opens the door and immediately knows what is wrong. KNUFFLE BUNNY is missing! The entire family rushes back to the laundromat, and, eventually, KNUFFLE BUNNY is found. Trixie is so excited that she says her first words, "KNUFFLE BUNNY."
My daughter and I both relate to this story in so many ways. "BeeWee" is my daughter's version of KNUFFLE BUNNY, and BeeWee goes every where my child does. It IS a crisis when BeeWee is missing (although less and less of one the older she gets). My youngest clearly understood what Trixie was feeling when KNUFFLE BUNNY went missing; there were tears in her eyes, along with genuine concern. And she was very, very happy, too, when KNUFFLE BUNNY was found. And the ending brought a smile to my face, remembering that my child's first word was "BeeWee."
The artwork in KNUFFLE BUNNY is very unique and interesting. Trixie, mommy, daddy, and KNUFFLE BUNNY are all cartoons drawn on real black and white photographs of a small neighborhood. This really makes these characters pop and helps young eyes focus in on the action. I found it very clever and effective.
KNUFFLE BUNNY is a Caldecott Honor Book and quite deserving of that honor. KNUFFLE BUNNY is that special kind of book that can be thoroughly enjoyed by both preschoolers and their parents. A rare treat, indeed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
