This is a heartwarming story best read aloud. Students notice that there are photographs and drawings used as illustrations. It is a beautiful story about a real family1
My kindergarten students listened to this story as part of their author study on Mo Willems. This last installment of the three-part series is a touching ending. Trixie again loses Knuffle Bunny and learns to be both brave and generous.
