If MO WILLEMS can be said to have composed an epic tale, it would most assuredly be KNUFFLE BUNNY; a series that strikes right to heart of what it is love.
Children
can identify with Trixie and her 'lovey'. Parents are touched by the
stages of development that Mo re-invents and brings to life. We remember
our own loved toys, and we are see this same affection in the children
around us.
