This is a great book for Groundhog's Day. It is very informative (I learned things I never knew before about weather!) but also fun and interactive. It tells a story of groundhogs going to school and learning how to predict the weather, and is told in a way that allows the reader to experience the school and learn too. The information is presented in unique and creative ways and is engaging. There's a quiz included in the book as well. Great book!

This book was pretty smart, except for the bunny in summer clothes, when it was winter.
