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 & Poppy is a delightful story where Cornbread LOVES planning, while Poppy does not. Cornbread ADORES preparing, but Poppy does not. Cornbread is ready for winter, yet Poppy... is not. However, Cornbread and Poppy are the best of friends, and when Poppy finds herself without any food for the long winter, Cornbread offers to help her out.
Their adventure takes them up, up, up Holler Mountain, where these mice might discover a new friend... and reunite with an old one. Celebrating both partnership and the value of individuality, young readers will find this classic odd-couple irresistible as they tackle relatable issues with humour and heart.
