Product Description
Trixie can't wait to bring her one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to school and show him off to everyone. But when she gets there, she sees something awful: Sonja has the same bunny. Suddenly, Knuffle Bunny doesn't seem so one-of-a-kind anymore. Chaos ensues until the bunnies are taken away by Ms. Greengrove. After school, Trixie finally gets her beloved bunny back. But in the middle of the night, Trixie realizes something. She has the wrong bunny! Daddy comes to the rescue again as a midnight swap is arranged with the other bunny, the other little girl, and the other daddy. Needless to say, the daddies are not very happy. By the end of the story Trixie has her beloved bunny back, but she has also gained something new: her very first best friend. In the tradition of the Caldecott Honor-winner KNUFFLE BUNNY: A CAUTIONARY TALE, this is another heartfelt, hilarious picture book that children (and their parents) will love.

Laugh out loud funny!

I read this for my little guy today, for the first time, and I have to recommend: take your time and really put yourself in the Dad's shoes when you read this.

My son actually left me alone and went back to his cars, because I was totally in stitches over this book. It is SO TRUE, which is of course, what makes it so funny. I confess, I did have one complaint while reading: why is it DAD's problem to arrange the bunny swap at 2:30 AM, as opposed to MOM's??? But my wife quickly filled me in: because it's Trixie's Daddy who is writing the book. Oh, yeah, I knew that.

All right, so, the story -- Trixie loves her Knuffle Bunny, blah blah blah, it accidentally gets switched, which Trixie (somehow... how? I dunno, kids just KNOW these things) figures out at 2:30 AM, just as Sonja also realizes it. This is when the pictures and illustrations just get TOO FUNNY! The "couldn't it wait until morning?" faces -- my wife didn't think these were quite as funny as I did, but, hey, that's because she's the wife, right? :-) (Just kidding, honey!)

The HUGE cross-town picture with the tiny Trixie-and-Daddy on one side, with Sonja-and-Daddy on the other... the next-morning tired Dads, followed by the *BEST PUNCHLINE EVER* (and no, I won't give it away). It's hysterical.

Just as good as the first

I fell in absolute love with the first Knuffle Bunny and I must say that this is as worthy a sequel as it gets! Trixie is now in preschool... with another little girl possessing a similar Knuffle Bunny. Mo Willems shows off his fantastic art of drawings against Brooklyn photos with amazing attention to characters, personality, body language, and a sly and hilarious wit.

We read this every night!

My 2.5 year old daughter received this book as a gift and we have never read the first one. The story is wonderful, funny and cute and the illustrations are a very creative mix with real photography. My daughter has this book memorized now and reads it to me which is priceless. I'm getting her the first one for her 3rd birthday and I'm sure it will be a great addition to our home library.

Not *quite* as good as the first, but that's okay

Really, if you've read and liked the first, you'll probably like this one too.

I just have a single qualm about it. The layout of the first few pages makes it hard to read - I'm not sure where to break in with Trixie's chatter, that sort of thing.

And the midnight switching of the bunnies is a little contrived-looking.

But all that aside, it's (almost) as great as the original.

good book

This is a good book. My 16-month old loves it as much as she loves the first book (Knuffle Bunny). It is also delightful for parents too.
