Trixie, the headstrong toddler introduced in Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale (Hyperion, 2004), is a talkative preschooler now and still very attached to her Knuffle Bunny. Bringing her treasured toy to school one day, Trixie is crushed to find out that classmate Sonja has a Knuffle Bunny too. In that aching moment, her Knuffle Bunny is no longer one-of-a-kind. The girls begin quarreling until Ms. Greengrove intervenes, taking the stuffed animals away until the end of the day. Eventually, the rabbits are returned and the girls go their separate ways. It isn’t until the middle of the night that Trixie awakes with a panicked realization—she has the wrong Knuffle Bunny! With high drama, she convinces her parents that it is not an option to wait until morning: the exchange must happen now . This captivating sequel stands on its own as a testament to the trials of childhood (and parenthood). (Ages 3–6)

Trixie can't wait to bring her one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to school and show him off to everyone. But when she gets there, she sees something awful: Sonja has the same bunny. Suddenly, Knuffle Bunny doesn't seem so one-of-a-kind anymore. Chaos ensues until the bunnies are taken away by Ms. Greengrove. After school, Trixie finally gets her beloved bunny back. But in the middle of the night, Trixie realizes something. She has the wrong bunny! Daddy comes to the rescue again as a midnight swap is arranged with the other bunny, the other little girl, and the other daddy. Needless to say, the daddies are not very happy. By the end of the story Trixie has her beloved bunny back, but she has also gained something new: her very first best friend. In the tradition of the Caldecott Honor-winner KNUFFLE BUNNY: A CAUTIONARY TALE, this is another heartfelt, hilarious picture book that children (and their parents) will love.--Publisher information.
