Knuffle Bunny is a cautionary tale that tells the story of what happens when a father and his daughter go to the laundromat together. Little girl, Trixie, who is not yet able to speak forgets her bunny in the laundromat and it mistakenly gets into a washing machine. Trixie tries tries to explain to her father in all possible ways that she can that they have to go back to get the bunny. Father of course does not understand as the little girl is jabbering. However mother understand immediately what the problem is. Author's, Mo Williams, black and white photography provides nostalgic backdrop for the adventure that ultimately reunites baby and bunny. Beside recapturing his beloved neighborhood Brooklyn, Williams memorializes the story of his daughter's first words: "Knuffle Bunny"
I would discuss with the students before reading the story what they think the story will be about, and what they think will happen. We would talk about the possibility of story being true and why the author wrote it.
I would have students write their own story and dedicate it to somebody they like.
