I was underwhelmed with this follow up to the adorable and 'original' Knuffle Bunny. In this story Trixie is a bit older and, as the title suggests, Knuffle Bunny gets mixed up with another nearly identical bunny.
I do love Mo Willems, but I'm not a huge fan of his penchant for sequels. It seems to rob a concept of some of its originality. For instance, how many times do we need to tell the Pigeon 'NO'? I know, I know - kids like repetition and they like to revisit familiar charact...more

I listened to the non-print version of this story, which was on audio CD. I recently discovered this section at my local library. To be honest..it was funny to hear that I have been pronouncing "Knuffle" incorrectly!!

Trixie knows there's only ONE Knuffle Bunny, but Sonja bring another bunny that looks almost exactly like Knuffle Bunny to Pre-K! (Only that's one's a girl, apparently--pink ears, eensy bow.) This cannot be good....
I read this to several classes of kids this week, from Pre-K up to 2nd grade, and they all loved it. They noticed the "switch" right off the bat, and were very involved in the story. I think they all have a Knuffle Bunny of sorts, be it a doll or a Transformer, a...more

Caldecott Honor book, Knuffle Bunny Too, by Mo Willems, is just as good as the first Knuffle Bunny book I read. Trixie is now in pre-k and still loves her Knuffle Bunny. The book is about how a friendship develops after a dilemma around a mistaken identity occurs. The combination of comic book characters and real life pictures of New York make this book visually entertaining, and is the reason I enjoyed the story so much. This book would appeal to primary school children at a read aloud ti...more

I greatly enjoy the artwork and humor in the Knuffle Bunny books. The photographs with illustrations are unique and it's fun to look through each page and find the illustrate Trixie and Knuffle Bunny.
Mo Willem's humor is as fun as ever, but some of the humor I think may be lost on small children. But I think that's also part of the joy of the Knuffle Bunny books-they're not just written for an audience of children, they're written for their parents too. Parents can understand the f...more

I liked this better than the first one, even though the 2AM exchange was insane. The backgrounds were great and the writing was funny.

This book was a continuation of Knuffle Bunny and it was good like Knuffle Bunny was. When looking at the illustrations, it was just like the other book and it still had that good same effect that the first book did. And with this book, it talks about how when children have their very own stuffed animal and they think nobody else in the world has one. Then they find out maybe some day or some way that somebody else has a stuffed animal just like theirs. To them, the stuffed animal might not seem...more

I am officially a Mo Willems Knuffle Bunny fan! In this book Trixie and Knuffle Bunny go to kindergarten. On the first day she notices Sonja, a classmate, has a too! Trixie nor Sonja are happy about the situation, so they argue, and their teacher takes both of their Knuffle Bunnies away. When she gives them back the Knuffle Bunnies end up in the arms of the wrong owners. Will Trixie and Sonja notice? Will they be even more upset with one another?

Having a kid was the greatest thing that ever could have happened to me because, ok, having a kid is pretty special on its own but having a kid so you can read Mo Willems books to them at bedtime...SCORE! Every week we find a new one at the library and I am more and more happy with each one every time. YES! I AM GUSHING!

This book drew me in with the illustrations. I love the color put on black and white. It is very appealing. At the begginning of the story, I knew there would be some suspence brought in. Throughout the story the suspence continues because the reader will want to figure out if the girls will end up being friends or enemies when the exchange of their actual bunnies happens. But of course, it ends happily and shows an excellent model of friendship. This would be a great book for pre-k-2nd gr...more
Trixie can't WAIT to show her beloved Knuffle Bunny to all her friends in Pre-Kindergarten! Upon her arrival, however, she sees that Sonya has also brought (gasp!) a Knuffle Bunny for show and tell! The day does not go well for either girl, and the teacher takes their Knuffle Bunnies away after an argument.
The teacher returns a Knuffle Bunny to each girl at the end of the day. Around 2:30 a.m., Trixie realizes...SHE HAS THE WRONG KNUFFLE BUNNY! Will she ever be reunited with her ...more

This is a cute story about a young girl who realizes that she has the wrong stuffed animal in the middle of the night. The illustrations are set against black and white photographs of New York City which I thought was really clever. I like this story because Trixie reminds me of me when I was a kid (or now sometimes) and I love her devotion to her special stuffed animal. From an art perspective, I think I would love to work with kids on adding their own touch to photographs of known places as...more

Mo Willem's illustrations always entertain me so I was shocked when I opened this book! But I have never seen illustrations like this before, it is like a mix of real pictures (the background) and then the characters, which are drawn by Willems. It makes the story seem so real! This story is so sweet, because both the little girls know exactly which one of their knuffle bunnies are theirs. I laughed out loud reading about the two dads meeting in the middle of the night to "make the exchange...more
Very nice sequel to Knuffle Bunny. Trixie has grown up enough to attend school and takes Knuffle Bunny for show and tell. She is horrified to learn that Knuffle Bunny is not unique because another girl in class has one just like it, but with a different name. The two argue in class over which one is better, so the teacher puts the toys up on a shelf to avoid conflict. Confusion and trauma ensue when Trixie realizes that this is a strange rabbit, not Knuffle Bunny at all! In the end the two ...more
Illustration design was wonderful - so true that children don't pay attention to objects in the background. Story was disturbing - I can't imagine spoiling children like the dads did. Of course, the teacher (and the girls) should have been more careful in the first place. One solution would be to put the girls on the phone to each other and have them promise to take good care of each other's bunnies until school. After all, they got through dinner and bath etc. in one piece. It'd be a good le...more
this book is entertaining and funny. I liked the illustrations and facial expressions that underlined the storyline alongside the text bubbles. This book would serve as a perfect example for a social studies lesson in the lower elementary grades about making friends and diversity. I think every parent can relate to the reaction of the parents in the story, who pick their battles and meet another family in the middle of the night across town, just to exchange a toy. This is what parenting is all ...more
