Product Description: Trixie, Daddy, and Knuffle Bunny take a trip to the neighborhood Laundromat. But the exciting adventure takes a dramatic turn when Trixie realizes somebunny was left behind . . . Using a combination of muted black-and-white photographs and expressive illustrations, this stunning book tells a brilliantly true-to-life tale about what happens when Daddys in charge and things go terribly, hilariously wrong. Mo Willems is a six-time Emmy Awardwinning writer and former animator for Sesame Street, and the creator of Cartoon Networks Sheep in the Big City. Both his first book for children, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and his fourth book Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale won prestigious Caldecott Honors from the American Library Association. The New York Times has called him "the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00's". Mo lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York.
Adorable! I've heard for several years the absolute wonder of this book. And finally I get around to reading it. What a joy to do that! This book is thoroughly adorable, packing heart I did not quite expect as well as an incredible blend of illustration and photograph. While I warn that certain ages of children may not be as impressed with it as others will, it's a wonderful book for whomever will listen.
Sweet We received this book as a gift and my 2 year old daughter LOVES it. She does her own "knuffling" around the house, she's totally enjoying the story.
I don't love it *quite* as much as the kids do, but it's good enough :) First, let me say that my nieces, aged 5 and 2.5, love this book. Love, love, love. We take it out often from the library.
They really like playing the perennial Mo Willems game "Find the hidden picture of the pigeon!", and they like the story as well. It just calls to them, and when I read it they participate and everything.
I find the book starts to lose its charm after a dozen dozen readings, but what do I know? I'm just an adult!
I love Mo Willems! My only complaint about this book is, I wish it were longer! I just adore anything Mo Willems writes, particularly the "Pigeon" books. The combination of cartoon art and actual photographs made the book visually wonderful.
A great gift, along with its sequel!
Our favorite! LOVE this book. I can curl up day after day with my four year old and my five month old and giggle over this book. Sometimes, my four year old sits quietly while I read to him, other times he tells me what is going on complete with voices and lots of giggling.
I like the way this book is illustrated as well, cartoon characters set against photographs of actual streets.
Anyone with young children know they will often seize on a book and fall in love, wanting us to read it over and over again...I like that this book is simple enough for them to 'read along,' but the message is a sweet one....Daddy will do whatever he has to do to make his little one happy, and what child doesn't like to see Dad as the 'hero?'
