The friendship between Cork, a muskrat, and Fuzz, a possum, is in trouble when Cork decides that since he is older, he has to be taller than Fuzz.

"When Cork tries to boss Fuzz into helping him clean up, both friends learn how to work--and play--together"--

Cork the muskrat tries to persuade his best friend Fuzz, a possum, to help babysit for a porcupine.

"Once upon a time there were two muskrats who lived in a cabin near a big old river. Mr. Muskrat dreamt of catching enough fish to make them rich; Mrs. Muskrat was happy if they caught enough for a good supper. Then, one day, they reel in a giant golden catfish who promises to grant their wish if they set him free. The two muskrats agree to let the fish off the hook and he does keep his word..but in a most unexpected and magical way."--publisher's...
