Emari is always up early, even on Saturdays, so when I realized that Groundhog Day was going to fall on a weekend I was really excited. Apparently, groundhogs get up earlier than five year olds so we had to watch a you tube version of this year's prediction. All the pomp and circumstance leading up to a boring appearance by a rodent was lost on her. She begged to be released to resume Saturday morning cartoons. However, the day redeemed itself with this book.
It is a cute story about a young groundhog who doesn't want to waste away her winter by sleeping. Her uncle promises her that if she falls asleep and is the first one awake, she will learn a secret. Emari loved the idea of the secret and changed her mind about "boring" groundhogs.
