Celebrate ten years of this popular easy-to-read series with the best friends' first-ever picture book--a lovely holiday tale.
Cork the muskrat knows there’s something special about today, but he just can’t figure out what it is. So he and his best friend, the possum Fuzz, go on a search to find a tree for a little “piece of quiet,” so they can think about what makes this day so special. But the first tree has too many birds, and the next has too many squirrels--they're not quiet at all! At last, when the snow begins to fall, Cork and Fuzz find the perfect place to rest their heads: under a lovely outdoor Christmas tree. In the end, Cork realizes what makes this day so special is that he is “in a beautiful place with my friend.”

About the Author:
Dori Chaconas was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1938. The second child in a family of seven, Dori fell into the role of storyteller, nursery rhyme singer, and general entertainer for her siblings. She claims she learned about story pacing early. If the story action lagged, her fidgety audience would either scatter or start a poking war. Dori has written many books for young readers, including the series of Cork & Fuzz easy-to-reads. She lives with her husband, Nick, in Germantown, Wisconsin.
In the past 30 years, Lisa McCue has illustrated more than 175 books for children. Lisa’s artwork also appears on fabrics, greeting cards, gift tins, wrapping papers, home décor and clothing. She was born in Brooklyn and now lives in Annapolis, Maryland. When she isn’t drawing, she can be found on the water racing her sailboat or in the mountains skiing. She loves to read, sew, and bead and is involved in fundraising for ALS.

PreS-Gr 1—In their first picture book, Cork and Fuzz (Viking, 2005), the muskrat and possum best friends of the eponymous beginning reader series, try to figure out why this day seems so special. Noisy birds (tweeters) and squirrels (squirtles) keep disturbing Cork's cogitation, not to mention the fact that Fuzz keeps singing a song with the inexplicable words "Merry, merry, holly, holly, ho-ho-ho" and jingling a gold bell that he finds. Kids will add up the clues to come up with one answer, but they will still find Cork's conclusion satisfying. As he and Fuzz lie under a front yard pine tree bedecked with snow and twinkling lights, Cork figures that being a friend in a beautiful place makes any day special. The simple story is enhanced by detailed illustrations depicting the two expressive pals cavorting against a snowy forest backdrop. VERDICT A warm and fuzzy tale that is imbued with the holiday spirit despite never mentioning the word Christmas.—Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library
