A trip to the laundromat becomes a disaster when Trixie struggles to tell her father that they've left a very important something behind.
Reactions/Observations:
Trixie heads to the laundromat with her father, but leaves a very important stuffed animal behind: Knuffle Bunny. She struggles to tell him, but being a toddler does have its limitations. Somehow dad finally gets it and they race back to the laundromat to save her beloved Knuffle Bunny.
When Trixie babbles, readers are practicing phonological awareness by listening and manipulating the smaller sounds in the words. The illustrations use mixed media, giving it a vintage feel as if these events are part of a scrapbook. Parents will sympathize with dad and recognize the toddler body language. Children will identify with Trixie, will have the upper hand over Dad's inability to understand, and be ecstatic when Knuffle Bunny and Trixie finally find each other again. Both parents and children will enjoy reading and rereading this book.
