KNUFFLE BUNNY

As she walks down the sidewalk with her dad past the park and school and into the Laundromat where they load the family's dirty clothes into the machine, Trixie doesn't miss a thing. Her father does, and therein comes the fun. Audio doesn’t get more authentic than having the real-life characters themselves narrate their own story. Just as her character does in the book, toddler Trixie Willems’s voice steals the show from her parents. Her coy descriptions of family pictures, authoritative sentence completions, rising angst, and outrageous outbursts are endearing. Dad Mo Willems narrates with high drama; Mom Cheryl adds a mother’s straightforward sensibility. Listeners will come back again and again to hear the pleasures of a universal family experience.
