Story Activities for

Knuffle Bunny by Mo Williems

Looking for a story in which every parent and every child can relate? Mo Williems's delightful story "Knuffle Bunny" illustrates the frustration of a lost toy and not being understood. This story takes place "before Trixie could talk". We join Trixie and her dad on an errand and walking through their neighborhood to the laundromat. When Trixie becomes frustrated, her cries, expressions, and body language show her feelings and affects her father's feelings too.
