Discover the magic of getting cozy with fuzzy little puffs in this irresistible read aloud about a community brought together by cuteness.

Who knew that such sweet little puffs could ruin an entire town?

It started out innocent: on a walk through the forest, a little girl found something fuzzy and yellow inside the hollow of a sugar pine tree. It snuggled right up against her forehead and purred. It made her cheeks rosy. Her heart danced the cha-cha. And then . . . POP! It multiplied! She was powerless against all the cuteness! Who could blame her for taking them home?

By nightfall, EVERYBODY in town has the warm fuzzies, until Greedy Steve begins snatching the little puffs up one by one and won't share. How can the girl keep her town aglow with the colorful puffs?
Darren Farrell is the author-illustrator of the award-winning picture book Doug-Dennis and the Flyaway Fib. He lives, for the time being, with his family in Seoul, South Korea, where he always makes sure there are no monsters under his son's bed. View titles by Darren Farrell
