Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity












·         Willems, M.  (2007).  Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity. New York: Hyperion Books for Children.
·          
·         A Caldecott Honor Book for 2007 with a mixture of photography and hand drawn pictures.
·          
·         Exposition:  The stars of this book are Trixie, Knuffle Bunny and Trixie's parents and Sonja along with her bunny.
·          
·         Conflict:  The problem starts when Trixie brings Knffle Bunny to school for show-and-tell and discovers that another girl has the same idea.
·          
·         Rising Action: Trixie and Sonja begin to fight over the bunnies during class and the teacher takes them away.
·          
·         Climax:  When school is out, the bunnies are returned to the girls and all is back to normal until it is bedtime and Trixie decides that this is not her bunny.
·         Falling Action:  At 2:30 a.m. daddy must call Sonja's parents to get Knuffle Bunny back.  Before he can call the phone rings and a talk ensues.
·          
·         Resolution:  After a few minutes, the dads decide to meet halfway to exchange bunnies.  Trixie and Sonja become best friends during the exchange. 
·        
The mixture of photography and hand drawn pictures is a very interesting composition.  I really like this form of illustrations.  It gives a feeling of 3D to the reader.
