Book Review: Groundhug Day By Pace & Denise

This week includes Groundhog Day on February 2 for the Western Hemisphere! I have always been rather fond of this silly holiday, and my interest in it grew exponentially when I discovered this beautiful book. A clever and stunningly illustrated story about forest friends determined to have everyone attend Moose’s upcoming Valentine’s Day party, especially Groundhog, whom they have to first stop from seeing his shadow! Delight in Groundhug Day by Anne Marie Pace, illustrated by Christopher Denise, 2017.
