Bookroo's summary

Cork the muskrat and Fuzz the possum sense something special about today but can't pinpoint why. Their quest for a peaceful spot leads them through noisy trees filled with birds and squirrels. As snow falls, they find tranquility under a Christmas tree, realizing the day's magic lies in their friendship. What makes a day truly special? Join Cork and Fuzz to find out.

From the publisher

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.”
