![]() ![]() Keen-eyed kids will have fun keeping track of the Knuffle Bunny as he's lost, then found again. Willem's cartoon-style art, set against crisp black-and-white photos of New York City interiors and exteriors, catches every bit of the plentiful emotion. As in the previous title, the slice-of-life artwork is smashing. This has much of the charm of Knuffle Bunny (2004), a Caldecott Honor Book, but the premise is stretched here: the middle-of-the-night meeting is energetic, but it seems overplayed. Despite parental protestations, phone calls are placed, bunnies are exchanged, and the girls, bonded during the trauma, become best friends. ![]() realization hits: the bunny Trixie is sleeping with is not her own.

Trixie is off to school, and things are going well enough-until she notices that Sonja is holding her own Knuffle Bunny. Knuffle Bunny returns, but this time he has a doppelganger.
