This third book in Caldecott medallist Matthew Cordell's bestselling early reader series tells a story of precious artefacts and priceless friendships.

Cornbread & Poppy at the Museum explores the contrasting personalities of Cornbread and Poppy. Cornbread LOVES spending time inside, while Poppy does not. Cornbread ADORES in-depth research, but Poppy does not share his enthusiasm. Cornbread is THRILLED to visit The Moonville Museum, whereas Poppy...is not. Despite their differences, Cornbread and Poppy are the best of friends.

When Cornbread is invited to attend the Founders Gala to see the unveiling of a surprise new exhibit, Poppy agrees to be his guest. Their evening is filled with spectacular treasures, including hand-carved hairbrushes, diamond-encrusted perfume sprayers, and a solid gold ice cream scoop. What other wonders will these mice discover?

This charming tale celebrates 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 humour and heart.
