The toddler exuberantly exclaims, 'Knuffle Bunny!!!' - her first words.

The three run back to the laundromat, and after several tries, Mo finds the toy among the wet laundry, and claims hero status. Cheryl, Trixie's mother, immediately understands that Knuffle Bunny is missing. Despite his plea of, 'Now, please don't get fussy,' she gives it her all, bawling and going 'boneless.' They both arrive home unhappy. Because she cannot talk, Trixie cannot explain to Mo why she is upset. But on the return home, she realizes that her stuffed rabbit, Knuffle Bunny, has been left behind. For the toddler, loading and putting money into the machine evokes wide-eyed pleasure.

The series' protagonist, Trixie, is named after Willems's real-life child. The Knuffle Bunny Series has sold more than 750,000 copies.
