"Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale"

"Knuffle Bunny  A Cautionary Tale" by Mo Willems is such an adorable book.  Mo Willems has won several awards for his writings among the Caldecott Honor award for this particular book.  This book is about a small girl named Trixie who went on an errand with her daddy.  They traveled down the streets of Brooklyn to the laundromat.  Upon arriving home from the laundromat, Trixie is distraught when realizing her beloved Knuffle Bunny has been left behind.  Mo Willems captures the true realizations that can occur between parents and children.  Mo Willems is from Brooklyn and I found it very interesting that he used actual pictures of a Brooklyn neighborhood in the illustrations of the book.  He uses a perfect combination of real photos mixed with demonstrative and energetic cartoon drawings.  I chose this book because my children adore Mo Willems books.  We thoroughly enjoy the adventures of Piggie and Gerald along with the Pigeon.  Now we can add Knuffle Bunny to our list of favorites!  This book contains a storyline and characters that are very much relatable for children.  Definitely a recommendation on my list!
