Predictable but fun. Recommended. ( )

Cork is a helpful muskrat who is babysitting a porcupine but Fuzz won't help out because he's building a bear trap. When the porcupine starts crying Fuzz tries to help by being silly, but when he's jumping all over the place he lands in his own bear trap. Baby porcupine goes missing while Fuzz is stuck, but it turns out he's really just climbing the tree to save Fuzz. Afterwards everyone is safe, sound and friendly.

A great beginning chapter book. I think this would be great for advanced first graders who are ready to read higher books but with more simple content. The animals are adorable, the illustrations are very cute. ( )

Cork and Fuzz have been on the Blue Crab list in previous years. April
