CORNBREAD AND POPPY

CORNBREAD AND POPPY by Matthew Cordell

What a perfect day to be writing about this early reader chapter book. It's brisk and windy outside, and every once in a while a few snowflakes come dancing down in the gusts.

CORNBREAD and POPPY are two mice that are best friends but are quite a bit different in personality. I completely relate to Cornbread. He knows the cold is coming, so he's prepared with lots of grains, cheese, and preserves. Poppy, on the other hand, is not prepared. She's been too busy fitting in as many activities as she can before the snow starts flying. Finally, she's decided today's the day to gather, but everything around them is gone. The only place left to check is the mountain: the place mice go and never come back. Being the dedicated friend he is, Cornbread goes with her, and the adventures start!

This great beginning chapter book is going to be on a similar level as Nate the Great and a step before Magic Treehouse.

I will be checking out more in this series in the near future!
