The Knuffle Bunny Too was about two little girls who both brought their knuffle bunnies to school. After having them taken away they are mixed up. The girls notice the mix-up and their dads make a late night trip to exchange to knuffle bunnies.

I think that Knuffle Bunny Too was a really cute book with a really cute plot. I enjoyed the plot because it was a story that could actually happen, leaving me to feel like I could connect to the plot and character. I know how it feels to lose something important to me just how Trixie felt when she lost her knuffle bunny. I think that the ending to this book was good because the two girls became best friends. I also thought the ending was good because although she became best friends with Sonja, Willems states that knuffle bunny is still her best friend. The text was kind of confusing because it was in story form and there was dialogue and I did not know what to read first. On a couple pages the story did not make sense if you read the wrong one first. I liked the pictures a lot because they were just illustrations but they were illustrated characters on real photograph settings. I also liked the illustrations because there is a small detail that the illustrator made sure to pay attention to when the girls switched their knuffle bunnies, this detail was the color of the inside of the bunnies ears. I thought it was funny because you do not notice this difference between the bunnies until you know they got them mixed up and go back and look.

This picture book would be a good book to use in a primary classroom. I do not think that it would be of any specific use in an older classroom. An activity you could do in the classroom is to read this book and allow students to bring in their favorite stuffed animal and have show and tell. You could have them find similarities and differences in their stuffed animals and why they likes them. Students could draw a picture of their stuffed animal and write a brief description of it. Another fun activity to would be to turn the previous picture into a "wanted" or "missing" sign and have them design it similar to one.
