About The Book
Hornbeam the moose, Eureka the goose, Cuddy the bull, and Adorabelle the skunk are the best of friends through thick and thin. And when a problem needs solving, you can always count on your friends to help get the job done!
In “March Worries,” Hornbeam is worried that the spring winds will blow away his blueberry bush and all the sweet treats he’s planning to make. When his overblown solution gets out of control, his pal Eureka is there to lend a hand.
In “Food-Shopping,” Hornbeam and his good friend Cuddy like to food-shop together every Monday. But the deliciously distracting baked goods right beside the front door get in the way of their plans. Can they find a way to outsmart the enticing cupcake display?
In “Game Night,” Eureka hosts a monthly game night for the group, where each of the friends shows up in their favorite outfits, and everyone goes home a winner!

Raves and Reviews
"Good early reader fodder to get it done."
– Kirkus Reviews, 3/15/24
"The book’s charm arises from the friends’ earnest helpfulness in their daily lives and from Rylant’s attention to details about the cordial relationships that sustain them. Howard’s illustrations, created with colored pencil, watercolor, and gouache, set a gently humorous tone while bringing the quirky but lovable characters to life on the page."
