Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity by Mo Willems. Trixie is an excited little girl who can't wait to get to school to show her teacher and Pre-K friends her Knuffle bunny. Soon, her excitement ends when her classmate, Sonja walks in with the same stuffed animal because now she doesn't own a one-of-a-kind bunny. There is much bickering throughout the day, that their teacher, Ms. Greengrove takes away the bunny but returns them to the girls. Everything seems fine, until around 2:30 in the morning, Trixie realizes she has the wrong bunny. She wants her bunny back, and as her dad is walking to the phone, it rings. Sonja's father is on the other end with the same problem. They agree to meet somewhere to exchange the bunnies. Both children are happy and this is when Trixie makes her first best friend.
I love the combination of illustrations and photographs. They add the realisitic touch to the story which I know many parents experience when their child claims, "this is not my toy" and we look at it and wonder how in the world do they know the difference?
