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 characters. But, the...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, and they know they feel...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 time.

Mo Willems is the current children's book Juggernaut. It seems all of his books are hits. His Pigeon books are hilarious. His Elephant and Piggie series: brilliant.
Of his oeuvre though, I contend that the Knuffle Bunny series is the best. Of the 3 books, 2 won the Caldecott Medal.
So, we read all three in order tonight. Here is Eleanor's review for the second book:
Me: How many stars?

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.

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

A funny follow up to the first Knuffle Bunny. Trixie is now walking and talking in PreK, and Knuffle Bunny is still her best friend. She is excited to share her unique friend with all of her classmates. Then she finds that another girl in her class, Sonja, has an identical friend!

Trixie was excitedly walking with her daddy; she could not wait to get to Pre-K today! As they were walking, Trixie was telling her daddy about all the people she would show her best friend (Knuffle Bunny) to. Her excitement diminished, however, once she saw what Sonja brought for her show and tell: another Knuffle Bunny. Trixie did not know that there were other Knuffle Bunnies out there, and she was sad because she felt like hers was not special any more. As the day went on, Trixie and Sonja f...more
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
This should be called: Knuffle Bunny: A Punch in the Face of Awesome Too.
First, you might be interested to know that I found this book vastly superior to the original. The story is fantastic, and relatable to children (and maybe one or two adults). The art has that distinct, almost Crayola simplicity, tied with background photographs that add depth to the scenes.

In my opinion, and in opinion of hordes of children's librarians, Mo Willems can do no wrong. The Knuffle Bunny books in particular, both for their sweet and simple (and very relatable!) story lines, but also for Willems' use of collage illustrations (mixing photography and drawings), are incredibly appealing to both children and to the adults often reading the stories to them. Knuffle Bunny Too hits the nail on the head for all of the Caldecott criteria - the pictorial interpretations are right...more
Knuffle Bunny and Trixie are back. This time, Trixie is taking her one-of-a-kind bunny to school...only another girl has the same bunny! The teacher takes the bunnies from the girls for the morning but returns them in the afternoon. Trixie plays with her bunny at recess and soon it is time to go home and even sooner it's time for bed. At 2:30 a.m., Trixie discovers that she has the wrong bunny. Daddy talks to the other girl's Daddy and they venture out into the city to exchange bunnies. Knuffle...more

Mo Willems illustrations are different from most children’s books I have read. This book shows a modern twist of black and white digital photography backdrops and hand drawn colorful ink sketches. The hand drawn ink sketches look as if inspired by cartoons. The backdrop pictures show neighborhood streets and interiors of buildings such as a public school. Beyond this high-tech city of large buildings and modern technology the illustrations tell a story about a little girl (oblivious to the large...more
