Product Description
Cork is a muskrat. Fuzz is a possum. From their first meeting in a hollow log to playing pin-the-tail-on-the-turtle, from collecting rocks to dodging falling pinecones, Cork and Fuzz are always up to something unusual. The gentle humor and simple story will entertain beginning readers, while warm, expressive illustrations add just the right amount of visual cues to help them along.

 Great characters and engaging story for beginner readers June 23, 2009

My 4.5-year-old is beginning to read and though this book is still above her reading level, we were both drawn to the adorable characters and engaging storyline. Cork is a rather wise little muskrat who befriends a precocious possum named Fuzz. Both friends get to know each other in this book which consists of four chapters and along the way, discover that they do share certain things in common. The stories are engaging and the full-color illustrations perfectly capture the two critters' antics. Highly recommended for beginner readers!

Any books I buy for the emerging young readers in our family have to pass MY entertainment test first. I'm a tough nut to crack. Fun AND learning are synonymous! This book passed with flying colors!!!
Cork and Fuzz had me laughing out loud all the way to the checkout counter. I applaud the author on creating such adorable, comical characters, engaging "easy to read" language. No simple task I'm sure.
I can't wait to be the audience for read-aloud giggles.
Delightful books for new readers! August 3, 2006

I was so excited to discover this delightful series for new readers. So often, books for kids who are starting to read on their own are dull as dishwater. Not CORK AND FUZZ!
Dori Chaconas brings gentle humor and sparkle to these books as she does her picture books (ON A WINTRY MORNING, WHEN COWS COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, ONE LITTLE MOUSE, and MOMMA?).
Beautiful. I will certainly be recommending CORK AND FUZZ to my nephew and other kids I know who are starting reading adventures of their own.

Cork and Fuzz is a great book for beginning readers. It creates two memorable characters, and subtly teaches about appreciating friends for their differences. My daughter, Meredith, loved it!

I am IN LOVE with Cork & Fuzz. This easy reader series is a favorite in our household. Cleverly written and endearingly illustrated, this pair is destined to take their place among other easy reader favorites. Look out Frog & Toad!!
