Synopsis: Owen--a mouse--and his yellow baby blanket, which he calls uzzy, go everywhere and do everything together. An overly helpful next-door neighbor gives his parents useful tips about how to eliminate the blanket, but Owen foils every plan until his mother transforms Fuzzy into a collection of handkerchiefs.

Craft ideas:

• What would be another way to get Owen to give up Fuzzy? Draw a picture.
• What happens when Owen and Small Fuzzy go to school? Draw a picture.
• Tell/draw the story from Fuzzy's point of view.
