Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems, has recently become one of my favorite children’s books. My son checked it out a few months back from his school library and it’s been a family favorite ever since. It’s about a little girl, Trixie, who loves her bunny “Knuffle Bunny“, but loses it at the laundry mat. As she’s still a toddler and trying to say real words, she “babble flabbles” trying to tell her Dad her bunny is missing. My kids laugh and laugh at Trixie’s words, asking for this story to be read again and again! There’s also a sequel to the first called Knuffle Bunny Too where it get’s lost again!
Well, I can relate to Trixie’s Dad when trying to locate my kid’s stuffed animals, or “knuffle bunnies”. My son has been sleeping with this dog, Honey pictured above, every night since he was 2 (he’s now 6). So far, it’s not too ragged, but it’s getting there, as it used to bark.
I’m sure my kids aren’t the only ones with “Knuffle Bunnies”. What comforting items do your kids sleep with at night?

Snurp!
We love these books, too. My son also gets excited to see Trixie’s cameo appearence in Willem’s Please Say Please book.
My almost five year old sleeps with a Mary Meyer’s Sweet Rascal’s “Sweet Gillian Giraffe.” He calles it Raffy. I know the vendor name mostly because, when he was eight months old and I saw it had become THE lovey, I quickly ordered two more that we now rotate out.
Our 18 month old daughter adopted a Lumpy toy from Disney. It was a park exclusive and a lot harder to get more of, but we managed. Shew.
My now almost 10yo has a pink fleece blanket named Pinkie. Well, Pinkie used to be pink and once upon a time, you could tell she was fleece. Now she is threadbare and gray, but Lili’s love for her has only grown over the years. We love Knufflebunny as well. And we also have a soft spot for Kevin Henkes’ Owen and his yellow blanket named Fuzzy.
