5.0 out of 5 stars
a review from a first grade teacher
A perfect book to introduce Groundhog Day on February 2! Illustrations are good, the plot is easy to understand and enjoyable, and this book could also be used in teaching character education. My diverse classroom of 20 students all loved this book, and continued to look at it during DEAR time. (Drop Everything And Read)

Not the best picture book on the topic
Godfrey Groundhog predicts -- months ahead of time, and only on a hunch -- that he won't see his shadow and an early spring will ensue. Most of his friends celebrate the prospect of fewer weeks of winter. But Roland Raccoon runs a ski lodge, and he's not a happy camper at all. He sabotages Groundhog Day by kidnapping Godfrey.

This review is from: It's Groundhog Day (Paperback)
Godfrey Groundhog predicts -- months ahead of time, and only on a hunch -- that he won't see his shadow and an early spring will ensue. Most of his friends celebrate the prospect of fewer weeks of winter. But Roland Raccoon runs a ski lodge, and he's not a happy camper at all. He sabotages Groundhog Day by kidnapping Godfrey. The groundhog eventually slips away, and Roland apologizes. Spring DOES come early, and Roland opens up a hot dog stand on the beach.
Compared to other Groundhog Day picture books, this one's pretty weak. The characters and settings are too cartoony for my taste, and the thought that a raccoon would kidnap a groundhog is just too unbelievable, even for a children's book. See my Listmania list for other Groundhog Day recommendations. |
