A Laundromat Trip with a Missing Bunny

A routine neighborhood errand becomes a family mishap when Trixie discovers that Knuffle Bunny has been left behind. The story centers on a young child, her father, and the beloved toy, with the trouble arising during their trip to the laundromat. Mo Willems combines black-and-white photographs with expressive illustrations, giving the book a distinctive visual approach to this everyday-childhood predicament. Its humor comes from the gap between a child’s urgent concern and the adults’ understanding of what has gone wrong.
