Sometimes the groundhog sees his shadow. Sometimes he doesn't. Find out why in this funny, heartwarming friendship story.

Where does the groundhog's shadow go?

Phil and his shadow do everything together. But where Phil is steady, predictable, and a little boring, Shadow is adventurous, freewheeling—even a bit rude. So they don't get along so well anymore. Fed up, the two have a falling-out, and Shadow runs off to see the world.

Being friends isn't always easy. True friends, however, always find their way back to each other. If the groundhog doesn’t see its shadow come February 2nd, young readers will have an idea of where it might be, based on this heartwarming laugh-out-loud story accompanied by David Biedrzycki’s hilarious illustrations.

  • "Bear wordplay, puns, and children's book references abound in this romp."--Publishers Weekly
  • "Kids will love the goofy grown-ups, round-bellied bears, and tiny jokes . . . embedded in the artwork, and they'll enjoy putting together all the rib-tickling pieces of the story on their own."--School Library Journal

    • Praise for Me and My Dragon
  • Bank Street College of Education's Best Books of the Year
  • Wanda Gág Read Aloud Honor Book (sponsored by the Curriculum Materials Center at Minnesota State University Moorhead)
