Groundhog Day puts weather prediction in the paws of a rodent! To celebrate this holiday, some people watch Punxsutawney Phil in person, on TV, or online. Others make springtime crafts or have groundhog parties. Readers will discover how a shared special day can have multiple traditions and be celebrated in all sorts of ways.
A fun nonfiction text to introduce this ridiculous tradition to my younger students (and reinforce some of the elements of nonfiction books.) We had fun with it...and didn't see our shadow.
