Willems manages pitch-perfect humor with his usual dexterity as he moves up and down the scales here-this story is as funny for grownups as it is for the slightly older elementary students to whom it seems best suited, and yet it remains sympathetic to listeners who are Trixie’s age and have shared her predicament as well. Unfortunately, while these girls can talk, they can’t tell time, and when they each discover the mistake in the wee hours of the morning, their beleaguered fathers have no choice but to venture out into the New York night to make the exchange.

The girls argue and get their best friends taken away by the teacher, and there’s a tragic mix-up upon their return at the end of the day. She’s eager to show her one-of-a-kind bunny to her classmates in preschool, until she sees that Sonja has her own, nearly identical Knuffle Bunny. It was inevitable: since those first words triggered by her joyful reunion with Knuffle Bunny (Knuffle Bunny, BCCB 10/04), Trixie has learned to talk.
