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.”
"A warm and fuzzy tale that is imbued with the holiday spirit despite never mentioning the word Christmas."--School Library Journal
"A quiet, satisfying story about a charming pair of friends celebrating their affectionate bond."--Kirkus Reviews
"Expansive watercolor illustrations evoke a beautiful winter’s woodland day but keep the focus tightly on the two friends."--The Horn Book
" 'Being together makes a day special,' says Fuzz after the two discover a peaceful pine tree, laden with snow and decked with lights, which is all the explanation these animals need. It’ll be enough for many families, too."--Publishers Weekly
