//The Great Fuzz Frenzy// by Janet Stevens

 * Summary:** Prairie dogs go into a frenzy of excitement when a dog drops a tennis ball into their den.

Classroom reviews:

 * **Mrs. Cottrell's and Mrs. Austin's classes:** We liked when the prairie dogs started fighting because of the fuzz and when they were dressing up in it. We found this book to be creative and funny. We liked that it was about prairie dogs and included an eagle. We found it a little repetitious. Some students did not think it was funny and did not like that the tennis ball got all messed up.
 * **Ms. Gardill's class:** We liked how the words were all over the page. We also liked that the pages folded out to make larger illustrations. The illustrations and plot were good. We enjoyed the use of describing words. It was fun to see the characters' attitudes. The last illustration added suspense. We didn't like the character Big Bark. Some of us thought the book was too short and others thought it was too long.
 * **Mrs. Pratt-Dixon's class:** We loved the creativity of the pictures. We enjoyed it when the prairie dogs were nice to each other: cousin to cousin, dog to dog, friend to friend. We liked the end because they said they wouldn't use any more fuzz, but then the dog comes back with a big red tennis ball with fuzz. We didn't like it when Big Bark was being mean to the other prairie dogs.
