The Great Fuzz Frenzy by Janet Stevens


The Great Fuzz Frenzy by Janet Stevens
Genre: Picture Book
My Rating: 9/10

For some reason, little prairie dogs always make me laugh and in this creative picture book, the little critters certainly are entertaining. It all starts when a dog drops a tennis ball into a prairie dog tunnel. The little critters aren't sure whether it's dangerous or not, until one young prairie dog darts forward and gets a little of the green fuzz stuck to her paw. What happens next is complete chaos! The prairie dogs start fighting over the fuzz and things start to get ugly. Everything spirals wildly out of control when an eagle sees a prairie dog covered in green fuzz making a scene outside of their hole and dives down to pick him up. The prairie dogs have to find a way to save their friend - and quick!

The fold out pages allow the illustrations to to show the depths of the prairie dogs' tunnels and give the reader a clear view of the craziness of the story. I loved the scenes where the prairie dogs are dancing around covered in fuzz!
