When I was a brand-new kindergarten teacher back in the mid-1980s (!!!) I was lucky to find ANY book about Groundhog's Day! Now there are lots of choices with facts and fiction galore, and Groundhug Day is a winner!

Anne Marie Pace has come up with a heart-warming tale of a moose who is plannning a Valentine's Day party with friends. He wants his buddy Groundhog to be a part of the fun, but he is worried. If Groundhog sees his shadow, he'll go back to sleep for 6 more weeks -- and miss the party! Moose and friends begin to brainstorm how they can make sure Groundhog DOESN'T see that shadow!

Then, they switch gears and decide to show Groundhog how much FUN shadows can be!  This book would be perfect to introduce a science lesson about shadows, an art lesson about making silhouettes, or some dramatic play with shadow puppets! Grab it at Amazon!
