About This Book

The groundhog has a big job to do every February, but the other animals are tired of him getting the spotlight...and they're tired of winter. Why can't they try predicting the coming of spring, too? One by one, each animal tries casting a shadow, but the results are always disastrous (and hilarious). The polar bear's shadow causes a blizzard, the camel's shadow creates a sandstorm, and the peacock's shadow whips up a tornado! Finally, all this hubbub wakes up the groundhog. Will he see his shadow?This silly take on a favorite tradition will have children hooting with laughter. As in Who Will Help Santa This Year?, Jerry Pallotta's over-the-top text and David Biedrzycki's colorful illustrations give this book enormous kid appeal.

At the age of 32, his imaginative ideas led to him to write and publish his very first book, The Ocean Alphabet Book.
