This is a really cute children's book for Groundhog day or anytime of the year. The townspeople and mayor are very accommodating of the groundhog, who doesn't want to get out of bed.

Here's Amazon's description:
"It’s Groundhog Day, and everyone is gathered to find out if it’s time for spring. But Groundhog does NOT want to leave his cozy bed in his cozy den. Will the townspeople be able to coax him outside to do his job? Kids will love the humorous antics of Groundhog in this delightful rhyming tale from the author of Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep."

Children, people who read to children, people who like children's books, people who love groundhogs or groundhog's day, people who like a short, cute story.

SPOILER - skip to the next section if you're going to read the book, please.


The pages where the groundhog received his first pair of slippers. I especially loved the dancing and stars. Adorable!

And I loved that the groundhog's slippers were cute, pink bunny slippers

This book was great. I liked everything I noticed.

Make some art like that dancing in slippers page.

Happy and hopeful.
