1 comments about Will Spring Be Early? or Will Spring Be Late? (Harper Trophy Book).

1. This is another of Crockett Johnson's wonderful gems for younger readers. Groundhog appears from his burrow in the snowy meadow to look for his shadow and to make his annual prediction. All of the animals, except grouchy Pig, are thrilled with Groundhog's prediction, especially when Groundhog produces tangible evidence that spring has already arrived. When Pig attempts to eat the evidence and makes a prediction of his own, the results are hilarious. This book is out-of-print, but perhaps you'll be as lucky as we were to find a copy tucked away in our school library!

1 comments about It's Up to You, Griffin!.

1. Mother Nature asks Griffin Groundhog to wake up early and let all the other animals know when Winter is over. He eagerly accepts the responsibility and revels in the honor ... until his friend Hugo squelches that enthusiasm with visions of hungry foxes and wolves waiting patiently at the burrow opening. When Griffin wakes up, he cautiously makes his way out of the burrow. He sees his monstrous shadow and scurries back to his bed in fright. After several more weeks of sleep, he wakes up to a glorious Spring day and gives the other animals the good news.
   
   This is one of the better Groundhog Day and hibernation stories for children. Susan Pickford provides a good explanation for why Winter will continue when the groundhog sees his shadow -- he's scared of it. Ramsey's colorful illustrations are animated without being cartoony. Mother Nature is portrayed as a senior citizen matron with flowers in her hair bun and mice in her apron pockets. A fun book that should entertain even the youngest children. (Make sure they find the wooly-bear caterpillars in the fall and hibernation scenes.)
