Plot
In the book, a young girl named Trixie realizes that her classmate Sonja has the same type of "Knuffle Bunny" toy that she does. When the jealous girls begin arguing, their teacher confiscates the stuffed animals, returning them at the end of the school day. At 2:30 AM, Trixie realizes that her teacher has given her Sonja's bunny, and asks her father to call Sonja's house to exchange toys. The two girls immediately become friends.
Reception
Newsday's Sonja Bolle praised the book for its "inventive illustration style" and said, "Anyone who fell in love with the first 'Knuffle Bunny' two years ago will pounce on this sequel, even if they've grown up since then."[2] Leonard S. Marcus of the New York Times Book Review added, "Willems has a brilliant knack for exposing early childhood's developmental pivot points, and for lampooning the best efforts of today's hip but hapless parents to do the right thing."[3]
Awards
The book was awarded a Caldecott Honor in 2008 and was a 2008 ALA notable Children's (Young Readers) Book.[4] A sequel, and the conclusion of the trilogy, is Knuffle Bunny Free: An Unexpected Diversion.
