Bezig met laden... Knuffelbunny de zaak van de verwisselde knuffelkonijnen (2007)door Mo WillemsThis is a heartwarming story best read aloud. Students notice that there are photographs and drawings used as illustrations. It is a beautiful story about a real family1 ( ) As a long-time fan of Knuffle Bunny, I was thrilled to find there was a sequel! and another! In this episode Trixie - who is now in pre-k - is very excited to take her favorite stuffed animal to her class. However, she is horrified to learn that another child in the class ALSO has a Knuffle Bunny and chaos ensues. I especially loved the very age-appropriate argument of how to pronounce "Knuffle" and the resignation of the parents as they help resolve the conflict later that night. Great follow-up. This book was a cute way to show how two people can become friends even when at first they didn't want to. I remember when I was in elementary school I would get jealous if someone had the same thing as me so I understand where Trixie was coming from at first. But I thought it was so sweet at the end how they switch back their bunnies and everything is better and they become best friends. Trixie (back from the first Knuffle Bunny book) is in Pre-K, and talking up a storm. She’s excited to bring knuffle bunny to school to show her classmates. I think this sequel works fairly well on its own. The importance of knuffle bunny to Trixie will make more sense if you have also read the first book. Dad still plays a central role. This time, it’s he who gets up in the middle of the night to do an emergency bunny exchange. Though the mixing up of bunnies felt very realistic, the midnight exchange was beyond far-fetched, and I think it took the place of a more important message. I would have rather seen Trixie’s dad or parents have to tell her “no, you’ll get your knuffle bunny back tomorrow!” The lesson/story of being told “no” is so important. I would have loved to see Willems develop a story around that. I loved the mixed media illustrations once again. In Knuffle Bunny Too, Trixie is very excited to bring her one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to school. She rushed to school that morning but when she got there she was upset. Sonja had the same exact bunny with her, too. The day turned chaotic when the two girls were arguing with each other about their bunnies and the teacher, Mrs. Greengrove took the bunnies for the rest of the day. When they got them back they went home and Trixie did her normal routine with her bunny. But then she would up in the middle of the night and demanded that her dad call Sonja's parents to switch the bunnies. They ran across town to get their original bunnies. Sonja and Trixie were worried about their own bunnies, but glad each other had them. That night, Trixie made her first best friend. This was a really good book. The illustrations were very realistic from Brooklyn with cartoon characters. In this story, Trixie has brings Knuffle Bunny to school and so does her classmate Sonja. When their bunnies were both taken away during class time, they got switched by accident and the two girls took home each other’s bunnies by accident. In the middle of the night, Trixie realized her stuffed bunny was switched with Sonjas. Their dads met up in the neighborhood and got the right bunnies back. In the end we learn that was how Trixie and Sonja became best friends. Mo Willems did a great job on this adventurous story because the reader feels like they are in Trixie’s position and have to find a solution with her. Trixie has a knuffle bunny and wants to take it to school to show her friends. When she does she realizes that another girl in her class has the same one. At the end of the day She goes home and realizes she has the wrong bunny. As soon as this is figured it out, a meeting is arranged and knuffle bunny is returned. This book is about a girl who was really excited to bring her one of a kind stuffed animal to school. But when she got there another girl had the same stuffed animal. They fought over which one was better. But in the end they learned that they are better for each other and they became friends. ages 3-8 Presented in class Available in Pierce College Library. I like this book for several reasons. First, this book exhibits the common issue young children encounter these days; feeling hatred toward those with similar belongings as them, especially if it is something they are super passionate about. At the beginning of the story, Trixie is super excited to show off her bunny, Knuffle, to everyone at school. To her, Knuffle is “...one-of-a-kind..bunny” until she saw another classmate, Sonja, with the same exact bunny as her. Although her attachment for Knuffle remains the same, she like most young children, starts to develop a sense of hatred. However, after a long day at school and a minor incident, Trixie and Sonja become best friends with a small secret. I think the change of plot is a lesson worth learning, not only by children, but adults as well. The importance that hate is not the answer to any situation and the reason why one hates another is that they both show affection toward the same thing.By understanding each other’s similarities we can all learn to love together. Second, I like how the illustrations are done in an abstract way. Only the characters in the book are cartoons with colors. The background/setting of the book are images in real life and the colors are back and white. This created a nice contrast and can be easily related by readers. Lastly, I like the sneak peek in the beginning and end of the book. In the beginning, it gave the reader a short but enough information about Trixie’s parents and when Trixie fell in love with Knuffle. At the end of the book, it shows what happened to Trixie and Sonja after they got their bunny back. Overall, “Knuffle Bunny Too” by Mo Willems is a cute children’s book mimicking one of the common problems young children possess through the use of abstract illustration and writing techniques. I first read this book this year to my 3 year old students at work. My students absolutely love the Knuffle Bunny series. This specific book is my favorite one because It starts with Trixie finding out her Knuffle Bunny was NOT one of a kind but in the end realizes its okay and she found a new best friend. This is another great book by Mo Willems. Just like in the first Knuffle Bunny, Trixie takes Knuffle Bunny with her everywhere she goes. She loves the toy so much that she brings it to her first day of preschool. She soon sees that another girl has one just like her and gets upset about it. Trixie and the other girl, Sonja, get into a little trouble during the school day and get their Knuffle Bunnies taken away. At the end of the day they get them back. Trixie realizes in the middle of the night that she has the wrong one and she goes to get hers back. The two girls soon become friends. The illustrations in this book really give life to the story. I really like how he incorporates real places into his drawings, for example, using a Brooklyn, New York Public School as Trixie's school. This book, just like the first one, is really adorable and little kids would love having this read to them. The illustrations convey so much meaning into the story as well. They show the places Trixie and her family love to go and also give a real sense of place because you can actually go to these places. I really enjoyed reading this book and the illustrations made it all the more better. |
