Review

It's February 2nd and therefore it is Groundhog's Day and Phil will be wakened from his sleep and brought out into the light of day to predict whether or not there will be 6 more weeks of winter. Will he see his shadow? It is a cloudy, gray day but when a photographer takes a picture and Phil sees his shadow, then what will that mean? The illustrations are expressive and Phil is especially adorable. The text is in a big font making it spot-on for Level 1 readers at whom this book is aimed. Beginner readers' shelves everywhere could benefit from this addition.

Overall Book Score: good
