Knuffle Bunny Too

Willems, M. (2007). Knuffle Bunny Too. New York, NY: Hyperion Books.

Brief Annotation: Trixie brings her beloved Knuffle Bunny to school with her, and is excited to show all her friends! She is surprised to see that a friend at school has a Knuffle Bunny that looks just like hers! When the two girls have a small fight, the teacher takes both animals away until the end of the day. They are given the wrong stuffed animals by accident, and only realize it when they are home....can these two girls put their differences away so that their Knuffle Bunnies can go to their correct homes?

Genre: Fiction, picturebook.

Grade Level: Pre K through 1

Readers who will like this: Children who enjoy picturebooks, children who are attached to a stuffed animal or toy.

Response/Rating (1-4): ***. I liked the first Knuffle Bunny better, but this one is a great read as well. It was interesting to see how Willems changed his art style to fit a character who was growing up, and the story is still touching and moving.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you have a toy with deep significance?
