Bookroo's summary
Cornbread loves planning, but Poppy does not. As winter looms, Poppy finds herself without food. Ever the loyal friend, Cornbread joins her on a daring journey up Holler Mountain. Will they find the help they need, or perhaps discover something unexpected? This charming tale of friendship and individuality will warm young hearts with its humor and adventure.
From the publisher
Caldecott medalist Matthew Cordell debuts his first early reader series about two best friends who are as different from each other as can be. Cornbread LOVES planning. Poppy does not. Cornbread ADORES preparing. Poppy does not. Cornbread IS ready for winter. Poppy…is not. But Cornbread and Poppy are the best of friends, so when Poppy is left without any food for the long winter, Cornbread volunteers to help her out. Their search leads them up, up, up Holler Mountain, where these mice might find a new friend…and an old one. Celebrating both partnership and the value of what makes us individuals, young readers will find this classic odd-couple irresistible as they encounter relatable issues with humor and heart. Publishing simultaneously in hardcover and paperback.
