Brief summary-This is a story about a young girl named Trixie and her favorite stuffed animal, Knuffle Bunny.  She gets so excited to take her bunny to school for show and tell.  When she gets to school that day, another student has the same bunny!  Somehow these bunnies get switched and the girls become distraught.  The parents find a solution, and the girls decide to be best friends. 

I would use this book to show students how important friendship and sharing are.
