Brilliant Author Series: Mo Willems
September 1, 2010Mo Willems is just pure genius. His style is so fun, relaxed and witty that the adorables have no choice but to enjoy themselves. I also love that most of his characters are part of a series so we can still check in on our favorites without having to read the same book over and over (I’m most grateful for this in fact!).
Mo is not new to the adorable’s scene. He was a writer and animator on Sesame Street, where he won six Emmy Awards. The man knows his stuff!
There is a new Knuffle Bunny (Knuffle Bunny Free) coming out in October. I was so honored to see an advance copy and I just adored it. Very heartwarming.
So without further adieu…
1
Knuffle Bunny
Ours is named, “Lovey” and he’s not allowed out of our home.
2
Knuffle Bunny Too
Not to be missed!

Knuffle Bunny Free
The NEW BOOK (out 10/1/10) is soooo GOOD. You may weep at the end.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
The original! And it’s a deserving Caldecott Honor Winner!
5
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!
This one is my favorite! It’s written perfectly…

Edwina, the Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She Was Extinct
She’s just lovable, that Edwina.

I think of Mo and that hilarious Pigeon every time I have to deal with a “boneless” child. 🙂
