Knuffle Bunny : a cautionary tale Find a copy in the library Finding libraries that hold this item. Using a combination of muted black-and-white photographs and expressive illustrations, this stunning book tells a brilliantly true-to. But the exciting adventure takes a dramatic turn when Trixie realizes somebunny was left behind. A seamless and supremely satisfying presentation of art and text. Trixie, Daddy, and Knuffle Bunny take a trip to the neighborhood Laundromat. Personalities are artfully created so that both parents and children will recognize themselves within these pages. Printed on olive-green backdrops, the illustrations are a combination of muted, sepia-toned photographs upon which bright cartoon drawings of people have been superimposed. They, in turn, augment the story's emotional acuity. The toddler exuberantly exclaims, 'Knuffle Bunny!!!' 'And those were the first words Trixie ever said.' The concise, deftly told narrative becomes the perfect springboard for the pictures. Yet, this is not simply a lost-and-found tale. After several tries, dad finds the toy among the wet laundry and reclaims hero status. Mom immediately sees that 'Knuffle Bunny' is missing and so it's back to the Laundromat they go.

Despite his plea of 'please don't get fussy,' she gives it her all, bawling and going 'boneless.' They both arrive home unhappy. Readers will know immediately that her stuffed bunny has been left behind but try as she might, (in hilarious gibberish), she cannot get her father to understand her problem. But, on the return home, she realizes something. For the toddler, loading and putting money into the machine invoke wide-eyed pleasure.

PreSchool-Grade 1–Trixie steps lively as she goes on an errand with her daddy, down the block, through the park, past the school, to the Laundromat.
