Although the subject of the book is Groundhog's Day, children will be enthralled with all the weather facts strewn throughout the book (if that's their pleasure). Presented in an art pop/comic format, we follow along a class of groundhogs (and one "foreign exchange student"--the skunk) as they learn about their future professions. Along the way are facts on famous groundhogs, famous weathermen, how to build a burrow, seasons, and shadows. Amidst these sidebar facts, the plot continues throughout the book giving a nice structure. Well compiled and well written!
