The April Fools' Treasure Hunt

The April Fools' Treasure Hunt

by Susanna Leonard Hill

Weaving together charming details about springtime, this exuberant romp follows the admirable efforts of a plucky little groundhog to get her family to believe her weather report.Phyllis isn't kidding when she tells everyone that a blizzard is coming, but, in a frustrating situation many children may find familiar, no one believes her! All her groundhog family members think she's joking because it's April Fool's Day, and they begin their planned treasure hunt. As the weather shifts and the snowflakes swirl, Phyllis proves to everyone that she's not a groundhog for nothing, and her blizzard prediction turns out to be absolutely accurate! The richly detailed pictures include the clues for the treasure hunt, leading readers across melting streams, past the dropping thermometer, and to the maple sugar house.
