Meet Pudgy and Charles, two sleepy and thoroughly content woodchucks that live in the countryside. Their neighbors are a kind family whose marvelous garden is bursting with fresh vegetables—just the thing hungry woodchucks love to eat! Written by the childhood friend and biographer of well-known artist Wanda Gág and richly illustrated by Wanda's younger sister Flavia, The Wily Woodchucks portrays the Gág family's real-life encounter with hungry woodchucks at their summer home in New Jersey in the 1930s.
