Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity
by Mo Willems is a 2008 Notable Book for Children award winner. It is a sequel to Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale. It's a humorous picture book about a young girl and her "one-of-a-kind" knuffle bunny. Trixie, the main character, can't wait to show off her bunny at school. Once at school, she discovers that her classmate Sonja also has an identical knuffle bunny. Because she was getting into trouble at school, the teacher takes away their bunnies. However, at the end of the day they were returned to their rightful owners. YIKES, at 2:00 A.M. Trixie realizes she has the wrong bunny and in a frantic panic awakes her parents. Reluctantly her dad agrees to call Sonja's parents in hope they could exchange bunnies. They agree to meet and the story ends in a happy note with each girl having the right knuffle bunny. Not only does Trixie regain her bunny back but also gained her first best friend.
I really thought this was a cute book especially because my 8 year old son still sleeps with his bunny and has similar attacks whenever he can't find it. My son made me buy this book for him and enjoys reading it time and time again. I also liked the combination of cartoon characters and the black-and-white Brooklyn photographs.
