"Simple text and full-color photography introduce beginning readers to muskrats. Developed by literacy experts for students in kindergarten through third grade"--Provided by the publisher.
Cork and Fuzz wake up knowing the day is special but not why, and when they finally find a quiet place to think about it, singing a festive song as a bell jingles and snow falls on a sparkling pine tree, they realize that their friendship makes every day special.
When best friends Cork and Fuzz go to the pond to collect shiny stones, they happen upon a duck's nest just as the eggs are hatching and Fuzz, who is wearing a feather from his collection, is collected by the mother duck.
Cork the muskrat loves to clean, but his friend Fuzz the possum would rather spend his time playing. When Cork asks Fuzz to help with the chores, the two friends will have to resolve their differences--perhaps by finding a way to have fun and clean up at the same time.
As best friends Cork, a muskrat, and Fuzz, a possum, try to catch a mysterious floating yellow object, Fuzz eagerly keeps taking action while Cork cautions him to wait a moment first.
