2004 – Knuffle Bunny; A Cautionary Tale
2007 - Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity
2010 - Knuffle Bunny Free: an Unexpected Diversion
If you have a child and they have a favorite stuffed animal than you fear what happens to the little girl, Trixie, in these stories. She looses her Knuffle Bunny (pronounced with a hard k)! Since Trixie can’t talk her attempts to tell her dad go unnoticed but when mom figures out what sh is saying you can see the dread in the characters faces. The other stories in the series find Knuffle Bunny missing in action again.
I love the illustrations in this book. Mo Willems combines pictures that he took of his neighborhood with his ink drawing illustrations over the top. Rumor has it that the first book is based on a true story. As a parent you will enjoy this book as much as the kids do, just from a different perspective.
Classroom Activities
* Consider allowing your class to bring their favorite stuffed animal when you read the book.
