Merry Merry Holly Holly — Dori Chaconas

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.”
