Welcome to Litsy!

Third in the newest bunch of Munsch. It's still not as intricate, but I'm not complaining. #20-2024

“Well she had no choice...Trixie bawled. She went boneless. She did everything she could to show how unhappy she was”.

This book is funny and follows the story of a toddler with her “knuffle bunny“. It would be a great read in a k-1st classroom. The illustrations are creative and eye catching. The use of drawing and photos is also a great aspect.

The story follows little Trixie, who embarks on a hilarious adventure with her beloved Knuffle Bunny, only to realize that communication barriers between adults and children can lead to amusing misunderstandings. Willems' distinctive blend of expressive illustrations and minimalistic text creates a relatable and endearing tale that both parents and young readers will enjoy.

This one was action-packed. Starring Bob, as witty and competent as usual, and Persephone, a spy-slash-witch. She is a compelling female character (and not a love interest of any sort, praise God) who I hope to meet again.

I also really liked the cliche-but-not cult plot 👍

A small complaint: I‘ve noticed this before, but this author has a bit of trouble landing the endings. In my opinion, they should be more fleshed out.

4.0/5

“But knuffle bunny was nowhere to be found…”

The illustrations in this book are very creative and use different elements. The background of the pictures are real photographs taken from the city. They gave illustrations of the characters put overtop of the photographs, so it is as if they are really traveling through the city.

This book is about a little girl who goes through the city with her father. She has her favorite stuffed animal, knuffle bunny, with her. They eventually make it to the laundry mat, start their laundry, and make their way back home. Once they‘re home they realize that knuffle bunny is gone and they have to run back through the city to find it.

Knuffle Bunny was written by Mo Willems and published in 2004. It won the Caldecott Honor Award. This book is about a young child who explore language and how communication works. Great read aloud!
