Groundhog wants to please all the animals, but half of them want spring to come quickly and the other half do not--and all of them think he controls the seasons, so what is a poor groundhog to do on Groundhog Day? - Baker & Taylor
Groundhog leads his animal friends to believe that he can control the seasons and accepts their gifts to persuade him to sway the weather in their favor, but he is forced to acknowledge that he cannot keep all of his promises on Groundhog Day. - Random House, Inc.
After Groundhog announces six more weeks of winter, half his animal friends are disappointed, while the other half are excited. Each animal asks Groundhog to make his prediction in their favor the following year. Rather than being truthful about the fact that he just "calls it like he sees it," he leads them to believe he can control the weather, accepting their gifts of food and favor. On the next Groundhog Day, he finally admits he made promises he couldn't keep because he was trying to please everyone and makes amends.
Matt Faulkner's rich illustrations are packed with hilarious details that will delight readers of all ages. No matter what weather the Groundhog predicts, curling up with this fun book is a great way to spend the winter.
