Knuffle Bunny

Knuffle Bunny, by Mo Willems is a book about a baby named Trixie. Trixie had a special friend and this friend was knuffle bunny. Well one day Trixie goes with her dad on a trip to the laundromat, they go down the block, through the park, by the school and into the laundromat. Trixie helped her father with the laundry and she gets to put the money in the laundry machine. When Trixie and her father leave the laundromat Trixie starts to babble to her father about something. What was she wanting?

Knuffle Bunny is a good book. The best part of it is the pictures. The pictures are natural black and white pictures with colored cartoons. The pictures really stick out and create the book. I think that young readers would really enjoy this book. Its an adventure book about Trixie that is easy to read, and has really engaging photos. This book would work as a read aloud for students to enjoy to be able to pass a couple minutes at the end of the day. Children would be able to relate to the book about Trixie if they have young siblings as well.

    I also love the real photography mixed with the colorful cartoons. This is such a fun read aloud book and kids like to hear it over and over!

    I noticed that you shared Knuffle Bunny Too in class. Have you seen the third book, Knuffle Bunny Free? I still haven't but I am sure I would love it as well. I love how the covers for the three books are similar with Trixie getting older.

    Ian, great choice of book! I love the Knuffle Bunny books and so do my kids. I have to agree that the illustrations really make the book. I would like to try doing something similar to this with a class story book using photoshop and illustrations done by the students for a writing project.
