Knuffle Bunny - A Cautionary Tale was written by Mo Willems in 2004 and received a Caldecott Honor in 2005. Knuffle Bunny is about Trixie and her stuffed bunny that she carries everywhere. When she goes with her dad to the Laundromat and Knuffle Bunny accidentally gets put into the washing machine Trixie has a meltdown to put it mildly. Dad saves the day when he rescues Knuffle Bunny from the washing machine.
Like all of Mo Willems books, you have to love Trixie and her bunny. She is so much like every other toddler in America. What parent doesn’t read this book and think, ‘Oh yeah…I remember those days.’ Kids can relate to Trixie and probably tell you of a very similar incident that happened to them when they were younger.
I particularly like the artwork of this book. Willems uses actual black and white photographs and adds his color cartoons to them. The characters run in and out of the photographs. The artwork is very entertaining and original. You won’t be disappointed with Knuffle Bunny!
