Get ready for the fight of the season in Festive Feuds, a rollicking picture book series featuring beloved and iconic characters competing to see who will come out on top. This time, Valentine’s Day and Groundhog Day are duking it out in a laugh-out-loud companion to Leprechaun vs. Easter Bunny and Turkey vs. Santa! A self-important groundhog is excited for the big day when his shadow (or lack thereof) will decide if winter is over. But he finds himself overlooked as people stock up on candy hearts, write romantic couplets, and hope to be struck by Cupid’s arrow! Meanwhile, Cupid himself spreads love and joy, oblivious to the groundhog’s frustration. Can the two holiday icons learn to share the spotlight? Or will their battle for people’s hearts get out of control? Find out in this silly celebration of two kid-favorite holidays: Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day! Read all the books in the Festive Feuds series: Leprechaun vs. Easter Bunny Turkey vs. Santa Vampire vs. the Beach Groundhog vs. Cupid
