Critical Reviews

"Adorable illustrations and fun facts fill the pages of this book about our favorite groundhog. (Or should I say land beaver, mousebear, woodchuck, or whistle pig?) Learn other country's traditions for weather predictions as you learn why news reporters gather to watch Punxsutawney Phil each February 2nd. This is a fun read and has activities you can enjoy as you get ready for the holiday." -- Shannon Anderson, children's book author

"What a time-saver for early childhood educators! Karen Bush Gibson has delivered a well-researched resource that has it all: history, world traditions, fun facts, science, vocabulary, art, and food. There is plenty to keep young ones joyfully learning for six more weeks of winter!" -- Janelle Marlow, early childhood educator and founder of MrsBellPresents.com
