As we have seen, Mo Willems books seem to be great for teaching the 6+ writing traits! This book would be one that is great for introducing the importance of conventions, the grammar used throughout the book is proper and consistent, as well as words are spelled correctly and there is proper punctuation. This book about sweet Trixie losing her "Knuffle Bunny" is a great way to show how the conventions used help us to understand the emotions and meaning of the book.
