Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity

by Mo Willems

Willems, M. (2007). Knuffle Bunny too: a case of mistaken identity. New York: Hyperion Books for Children.

Her eyes wide with anticipation, Trixie rushes to school to show off her beloved, one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to her PreKindergarten teacher and all of her friends. She is sorely disappointed when she discovers that Sonja has one too. After arguing all day and a terrifying mix-up, which ultimately bonds the girls together in a unique way, Trixie and Sonja become best friends.

Mo Willems' sequel to Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale perfectly describes the real-life attachment a four-year-old such as Trixie might have to her stuffed animal. My childhood "lovey" was an elephant, not so uniquely named Ellie. In order to wash it, my mother had to sneak it from me while I was sleeping. 😊 I loved on Ellie so much that my mom finally had to remake it. Imagine the horror when Trixie discovers that she has brought the wrong Knuffle Bunny home from school! She cannot wait to get her precious bunny back, even though it is two o'clock in the morning. Pairing together heart-warming drawings with authentic black-and-white city photographs, Mo Willems will capture your heart with his adorable picture book.
