The Willems family is back to narrate the second of Knuffle Bunny's adventures. Their animation and excitement provided an intimate look into a family memory the first time around, and with KNUFFLE BUNNY TOO the magic is back. The Willemses take turns as narrator, actor, and sound effects creator as Knuffle Bunny (pronounce the "k") has both his first trip to pre-kindergarten and a late-night rendezvous, all on the same day. In the coda, Mo and Trixie discuss the illustrations and predict the next adventure. The musical score adds to the vitality of the performance. In a concluding interview, Mo Willems provides insight into his book craft. A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine -

Starred review from July 16, 2007
In this sympathetic sequel to Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale
, former toddler Trixie gains verbal dexterity and still treasures her rag doll, Knuffle Bunny. Tugging her gangly, red-haired father along the sidewalk, she hurries to her preschool’s show-and-tell, eager to show off her pale-green, floppy rabbit. “But just as her daddy kissed her good-bye, Trixie saw Sonja.” No words need explain Trixie’s distressed expression, because a turn of the page says it all: Trixie’s classmate, with a wicked smirk, is clutching a bunny of her own. “Suddenly, Trixie’s one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny wasn’t so one-of-a-kind anymore.” Each girl hugs her rabbit, with Trixie insisting, “Kuh-nuffle! Kuh-nuffle!” and Sonja retorting, “Nuffle! Nuffle!” Their teacher raises an eyebrow and puts both rabbits in time-out until the end of the day. Willems expertly sets up this case of mistaken identity, as each girl accidentally brings home the wrong bunny, and a late-night exchange is needed to resolve the girls’ dilemma. As in the first book, Willems creates comic-book-style panels, with grayscale photographs of Brooklyn as backgrounds for his color-illustrated characters; insiders will recognize allusions to past Willems titles too. In a satisfying resolution, Trixie and Sonja become best friends, demonstrating that two or more children can enjoy similar toys. Not a word or image feels out of place. Ages 3-6.
