Despite their creative attempts to separate him from Fuzzy, Owen remains steadfast. As the first day of school nears, Owen's mother devises a clever solution that satisfies everyone.

From the publisher
Owen had a fuzzy yellow blanket. “Fuzzy goes where I go, “ said Owen. But Mrs. Tweezers disagreed. She thought Owen was too old for a blanket. Owen disagreed. No matter what Mrs. Tweezer’s came up with, Blanket Fairies or vinegar, Owen had the answer. But when school started, Owen’s mother knew just what to do, and everyone - Owen, Fuzzy, and even Mrs. Tweezers - was happy.
