Description
Trixie can't wait to bring her one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to school and show him off to everyone. But when she gets there, she sees something awful: Sonja has the same bunny. Suddenly, Knuffle Bunny doesn't seem so one-of-a-kind anymore. Chaos ensues until the bunnies are taken away by Ms. Greengrove. After school, Trixie finally gets her beloved bunny back. But in the middle of the night, Trixie realizes something. She has the wrong bunny!
Daddy comes to the rescue again as a midnight swap is arranged with the other bunny, the other little girl, and the other daddy. Needless to say, the daddies are not very happy. By the end of the story Trixie has her beloved bunny back, but she has also gained something new: her very first best friend.
In the tradition of the Caldecott Honor-winner KNUFFLE BUNNY: A CAUTIONARY TALE, this is another heartfelt, hilarious picture book that children (and their parents) will love.

This story of an unplanned swap of beloved stuffed animals and the

aftermath that ensues is one of which many parents can relate. Trixie enthusiastically decides to take her stuffed bunny with her to preschool, only to discover a classmate has brought the very same bunny. Friction between the girls builds, and the teacher takes the bunnies away. Luckily, the bunnies are returned at the end of the school day. To each parent’s dismay, the girls realize that the bunnies have inadvertently been switched, which requires a middle of the night exchange. Ultimately, the bunny adventure leads Trixie to her first best friend. This book is beautifully illustrated using a combination of visually interesting techniques. The children, adults, and bunnies are sketched in color and coupled with real-life black and white photography of school and city scenes. Each two-page spread offers several illustrations with many bleeding off the page. Few sentences are placed on the pages, allowing the pictures to communicate much of the story. As a comical bonus, the epilogue contains two obviously exhausted fathers juxtaposed with their excited and energetic daughters. As are all of Mo Willem’s books, this is a must for your children’s library. Show Less

This story is about a little girl named Trixie, who has a very special, "one-of-a-kind" Knuffle Bunny, or so she thinks. She is off to her first day of school and discovers another girl with a Knuffle Bunny, and this is where the story takes off. You see the troubles between the girls and in the
This book caught my attention not only by the title, but also by the front cover with the real-life picture on the front. It was a silly story with lots of emotions that you typically see in young children. I loved the way that everything that Trixie said was in a pink quotation bubble.
A possible extension idea is to give the students an opportunity to journal their thoughts about the first day of school and friendships. This could be a perfect opportunity to discuss the importance of friendships and the qualities of how to be a "good" friend. I would let them illustrate on their own, some of the important events in the story and let them create their own special paper Knuffle Bunny.

We lost bunbun one time and no one was allowed to do anything until bunbun was found.

This book with its unique illustrations is a big hit with the class I am reading to at school. They loved Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, so they are familiar with the characters, and they are excited for the sequel. Willems continues his use of photography combined with illustrated characters to give the book a completely different appearance. He uses the pictures to help tell the story by creating different moods with lighting and shading. It is a fun book to read.
This book could be used as an extension in the classroom before the first show and tell time to introduce the idea, and maybe demonstrate how not to act.
It would be good to use when talking about friendships and getting along with others.
It would be fun to have the students create family pictures on black and white copies of their homes and neighborhoods. This would be a good ice breaker at the beginning of the school year for parent involvement.

What a pleasant surprise! The pictures are different, the story read a little differently, and the whole books is just a little. . .different from your average children's book. I think younger kids would like the story, but older kids would get more of the humor.

This sequel to Mo Willems' popular book "Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale" is a wonderful realistic fiction story that tells the story of one little girl, Trixie's, experience in realizing that her stuffed animal is not one-of-a-kind. Much drama then ensues when her bunny gets mixed up with another

girl's bunny at school. This story will have adults and children laughing and smiling. It is also one that children will be able to relate too, because like Trixie, many children have favored possessions that they would be lost without. In this story, the heroic father steps in and saves Trixie's day by getting her Knuffle Bunny returned to her. For many children, this scenario will hopefully give them hope that their parent/guardian would do the very same thing. In addition, this book sheds a positive light on fatherhood and engages dads in literacy with their children. Show Less

This is another darling story, and while Trixie is no longer a member of the not-yet-talking brigade, she is still a very sympathetic character - her night time horror at the switch is impossible not to empathise with.
Again the photographic backgrounds bring a feeling of realism and a wonderful sense of city to the story.
