Dori Chaconas (2006) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Lisa McCue

(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Cork, a muskrat, and Fuzz, a possum, are friends. Then Cork decides: "I am older than you. I need to be taller. It is a rule". The hilarious pictures illustrate how they try to solve this problem. One suggestion from Cork to Fuzz is for him to stop eating so he can stop growing. And in the mean time he asks him to walk on his knees so he will appear shorter. Will they be able to remain friends even though they are different? Their problem is a universal one and their solution will touch your heart.

To Megan and Zoe, I'm so glad you enjoyed my book! Cork and Fuzz say "Hi!" (Actually, Cork says "Hi," and Fuzz says "Ih," which is "Hi" backwards.) Keep enjoying books! Dori Chaconas
