This story is about a little girl named Trixie who could not speak yet. She ran an errand with her father to the neighborhood laundromat and brought her knuffle bunny stuffed animal along. She had so much fun helping her father with all kinds of things while at the laundromat. On the way home, Trixie realized that she left her knuffle bunny at the laundromat so she tried many different things to get her father to notice it was missing; however, it did not work. Once they got home, the first thing Trixie's mother said was "where's knuffle bunny?" Immediately, they all rushed back to the laundromat to search for knuffle bunny and they eventually they found it. This made Trixie so happy that her first words were "knuffle bunny."
I would read this book to students in kindergarten or first grade. This is a good book to have students echo read because there are not too many words to a page. One thing I liked about this book was that the characters were illustrated in cartoon animation, but the pictures were illustrated in real world settings. This could be read when teaching students about different real world settings because it includes things such as a school, a park, and a laundromat. ( )

This is a delightful story of a little girl and her beloved Knuffle Bunny, and what happens when Knuffle Bunny gets left behind at the laundrymat.

As well as a charming story this is a warning to parents that children's tantrums may have important motivations, especially when you're too little to explain yourself in words.
The art is interesting, with cartoon characters layered over black and white photographic backgrounds. While the photographs are obviously New York (Brooklyn, specifically) this realistic background roots the story in everyplace, and gives it a believability beyond the cartoon characters.

Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale is a really great early reader book by Mo Willems, who has a creative style of illustrating that is a sure eye catcher. When Trixie and her father go to the laundry mat, there is a terrible occurrence when Knuffle Bunny goes missing. When someone, or something we hold dear disappears, we're not likely to take it well. Mo Willems uses illustrations over photography, giving a wonderful new twist to the picture book. I really loved this book, and highly recommend it to all readers and early grade classrooms. ( )

Enchanting story and photos. Molly thought Trixie looked like her baby (which she does!)

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786818700, Hardcover)

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 . . . Using a combination of muted black-and-white photographs and expressive illustrations, this stunning book tells a brilliantly true-to-life tale about what happens when Daddys in charge and things go terribly, hilariously wrong. Mo Willems is a six-time Emmy Awardwinning writer and former animator for Sesame Street, and the creator of Cartoon Networks Sheep in the Big City. Both his first book for children, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and his fourth book Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale won prestigious Caldecott Honors from the American Library Association. The New York Times has called him "the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00's". Mo lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York.
