Knuffle Bunny
Willems, Mo
FIC .014 WIL
This comic gem proves that Caldecott Medal-winner Willems, the Dr. Spock and Robin Williams of the lap-sit
crowd, has just as clear a bead on pre-verbal children as on silver-tongued preschoolers. On a father-daughter
trip to the Laundromat, before toddler Trixie "could even speak words," Daddy distractedly tosses her favorite
stuffed bunny into the wash. Unfortunately, Trixie's desperate cries ("aggle flaggle klabble") come across as
meaningless baby talk, so she pitches a fit until perceptive Mommy and abashed Daddy sprint back to retrieve
the toy. Willems chronicles this domestic drama with pitch-perfect text and illustrations that boldly depart from the
spare formula of his previous books. Sepia-tone photographs of a Brooklyn neighborhood provide the backdrops
for his hand-drawn artwork, intensifying the humor of the gleefully stylized characters--especially Trixie herself,
who effectively registers all the universal signs of toddler distress, from the first quavery grimace to the
uncooperative, "boneless" stage to the googly-eyed, gape-mouthed crisis point. Even children who can already
talk a blue streak will come away satisfied that their own strong emotions have been mirrored and legitimized,
and readers of all ages will recognize the agonizing frustration of a little girl who knows far more than she can
articulate.

Language Development : Cut, Paste, & Color
(Basic Skills Series)
Fortifying a fundamental skill.
The 24 illustrated lessons in this book present students with eight word clues that need to be matched with
accompanying pictures. Sound (ch, sm, pl), word (star, butter, chalk), phrase (“Sharp as a ___.” “Forest is to tree
as desert is to ____.”), and numbered syllable (“2 syllable,” “3 syllable”) clues are presented. The image solutions
need to be cut and pasted into place.
Example:
“Dry as a ___.” “Flat as a ___.” “Light as a ___.” are among the clues presented. Images of a bird, a stack of
pancakes, a pig, a bone, and a bumblebee are featured. Which image goes with the phrase?
Of course, creative coloring is all part of the fun.
