Bookroo's summary

Groundhog is sick with the flu just before his big day, leaving the weather forecast in jeopardy. Desperate to find a substitute, he auditions his friends—Squirrel, Eagle, and Bear—but none seem fit for the task. As Groundhog Day approaches, the pressure mounts. Will Groundhog find a suitable replacement, or will the beloved tradition be canceled this year? Discover the unexpected solution in this charming tale of friendship and responsibility.

From the publisher

It’s almost Groundhog Day! Everyone knows that Groundhog has an important job to do every February 2, but this year he’s not feeling well. Dr. Owl diagnoses him with the flu and orders two days of bed rest. But how will people know the weather forecast if Groundhog is down in his hole in bed? Then Groundhog has in idea–he can hire a substitute! Maybe Squirrel can be the substitute, or Eagle, or Bear. But at the substitute auditions, Groundhog realizes that none of his friends is quite right for the job. Will he be able to find a substitute or will Groundhog Day be cancelled this year?
