Laugh out loud funny!
Customer Rating: 
I read this for my little guy today, for the first time, and I have to recommend: take your time and really put yourself in the Dad's shoes when you read this.
My son actually left me alone and went back to his cars, because I was totally in stitches over this book. It is SO TRUE, which is of course, what makes it so funny. I confess, I did have one complaint while reading: why is it DAD's problem to arrange the bunny swap at 2:30 AM, as opposed to MOM's??? But my wife quickly filled me in: because it's Trixie's Daddy who is writing the book. Oh, yeah, I knew that.
All right, so, the story -- Trixie loves her Knuffle Bunny, blah blah blah, it accidentally gets switched, which Trixie (somehow... how? I dunno, kids just KNOW these things) figures out at 2:30 AM, just as Sonja also realizes it. This is when the pictures and illustrations just get TOO FUNNY! The "couldn't it wait until morning?" faces -- my wife didn't think these were quite as funny as I did, but, hey, that's because she's the wife, right? :-) (Just kidding, honey!)
The HUGE cross-town picture with the tiny Trixie-and-Daddy on one side, with Sonja-and-Daddy on the other... the next-morning tired Dads, followed by the *BEST PUNCHLINE EVER* (and no, I won't give it away). It's hysterical.
Not *quite* as good as the first, but that's okay

Really, if you've read and liked the first, you'll probably like this one too.
I just have a single qualm about it. The layout of the first few pages makes it hard to read - I'm not sure where to break in with Trixie's chatter, that sort of thing.
And the midnight switching of the bunnies is a little contrived-looking.
But all that aside, it's (almost) as great as the original.
