Knuffle Bunny

This week we checked out one of my favorite books from the library: Knuffle Bunny.

While I'm a bit baffled by the accolades Mo Willems receives for his other books, I believe this one is deserving of notice. His integration of photography and illustration brilliantly highlights the facial expressions and bodily gestures of the characters.

The expressions in the book are priceless, including one of my favorite lines in a children's book: "She went boneless." The book is worth checking out just to enjoy that line in its context!
