Groundhog's weather prediction causes chaos as he struggles to please everyone.
Groundhog's forecast of six more weeks of winter divides his animal friends. Some are thrilled, others dismayed, and all want him to predict in their favor next year. Caught in a web of promises and gifts, Groundhog must confront his inability to control the weather. As the next Groundhog Day approaches, he faces the challenge of admitting the truth and making amends. Will honesty restore harmony among his friends, or will his attempts to please everyone lead to more trouble? Discover the whimsical journey of Groundhog as he learns the value of truth and friendship.
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.
