For my class, there was no such thing as too much Knuffle Bunny. A friend recommended that I look into the series for my students, and it was some of the best advice I received all year. The story is silly and highly relatable to all little ones that have a stuffed animal or blanket that they love very much. But what had my kids truly mesmerized, besides toddler Trixie鈥檚 delightfully dramatic tantrum, were the illustrations. Willems uses sepia-toned photos of Brooklyn as the backdrop for his colorful cartoon drawings of Trixie and her family. This series eventually led us to the 鈥淧igeon鈥� and 鈥淓lephant and Piggie鈥� stories, which are equally hilarious and imaginative.
