Caldecott Honor - Knuffle Bunny By: Mo Willems
"Knuffle Bunny" is a story about an adventurous trip Trixie, her daddy, and Knuffle Bunny take to the laundromat. After Trixie realizes she has left Knuffle Bunny at the laundromat she throws a hilarious tantrum and even goes "boneless" trying to express to her dad what's wrong. Since Trixie hasn't started talking yet her dad has a hard time trying to understand what the problem is and takes awhile to fully understand.
The most interesting characteristic about "Knuffle Bunny" is that the story uses illustrations and real photographs. The laundromat that Trixie and her dad visit is real a laundromat in Brooklyn. Mo Willems makes the characters feel like they are a part of the city. This is the first book that I have read that uses real pictures and illustrations. I loved the story so much, that I purchased a copy for my classroom. Once I read it to my students they fell in love too.
After reading "Knuffle Bunny" I am interested to read more books by Mo Williems to see what similarities he uses in his story. If they are anything like "Knuffle Bunny" I know I will love them too!
