KNUFFLE BUNNY

Dear Parents,


This is one of our favorite touchstone texts so far this year. It is one that we will continue to go back to during the whole school year. It is a model we will use to help us become better writers. Enjoy it with the children. Find out what it is about the book that your child loves.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Raider
 
KNUFFLE BUNNY

By Mo Williams
Not so long ago, before she could even speak words, Trixie went on an errand with her daddy… Trixie and her daddy went down the block, through the park, past the school, and into the Laundromat. Trixie helped her daddy put the laundry into the machine. She even got to put the money into the machine. Then they left. But a block or so later… Trixie realized something.

Trixie turned to her daddy and said, Aggle flaggle klabble!

“That’s right,” replied her daddy.

“We’re going home.”

AGGLE FLAGGLE KLAGGLE! said Trixie.

Blaggle plabble!

Wumby flappy?!

Snurp.

“Now, please don’t get fussy,” said her daddy.

Well, she had no choice… Trixie bawled. She went boneless. She did everything she could to show how unhappy she was. By the time they got home, her daddy was unhappy, too.

As soon as Trixie’s mommy opened the door, she asked, Where’s Knuffle Bunny?

The whole family ran down the block. And they ran through the park. They zoomed past the school, and into the Laundromat. Trixie’s daddy looked for Knuffle Bunny. And looked…and looked…and looked… But Knuffle Bunny was nowhere to be found… So Trizie’s daddy decided to look harder. Until…

KNUFFLE BUNNY!!!

And those were the first words Trixie ever said.
