The Babysitters (Cork and Fuzz)

Read this book with my grandson who is in first grade. We loved and laughed about it together.These two are great characters.

I love this series of books. Teaches children to problem solve and how to get a long with each other. These two little critters are always up to something! Adorable!

wonderful bppk

A pleasant story (there are more in a series) about two young friends who are very different: a short muskrat (Cork) and a tall possum (Fuzz). Cork is babysitting the most adorable baby porcupine, as depicted in the colorfully expressive and highly enjoyable illustrations. But Fuzz is too busy building a bear trap to help; ultimately Fuzz gets tangled in his own trap, and has to be helped. Many elements of style are included to assist a young reader become acclimated to books: plenty of dialog, onomatopoeia, a bit of slang/made up words (porcupine is "porkie-pie"), and verse-songs that are indented and italicized. A welcome addition to Easy Reader selections in the library or at home.

Love Cork & Fuzz!
