    About Groundhog Gets It Wrong

    This laugh-out-loud funny picture book about getting things wrong and then making them right is not your average Groundhog Day read

    Groundhog is shocked and a bit ashamed when he discovers that he doesn’t have innate weather-predicting gifts—especially when his mis-forecast ruins the spring carnival.

    First he tries fixing his mistake, but when shoveling up the snow and hosing it away turns out to cause more problems, he realizes that  the only way to truly fix his mistake might just be to literally learn his meteorological lessons.

    Praise

    “Whimsical…A motivational nudge to develop talent—innate or acquired.”–Kirkus

    “This pro-science fable …makes an unmistakable point: there are no shortcuts to understanding one’s calling, one’s strengths, or the natural world.”—Publishers Weekly

    “Townes provides a witty take on the bizarre tradition of Groundhog Day, enhanced by a well-paced plot that humorously relies on the tension caused by Groundhog’s unearned authority…Miles’ digital illustrations highlight the action and humorous moments, and auxiliary sound effects and speech bubbles will support a spirited storytime rendition.” –BCCB
