My six year old daughter and elementary special education students love the "How to Catch" series books! I love that this new book puts a fun new spin on a holiday that does not have many books highlighting it. My students love Groundhog Day and I am looking forward to putting this into our lesson plans for a read aloud on that day! Alice Walstead once again does a fantastic job of pulling children in with the quick paced, rhyming flow, of her books that keeps children hooked and engaged!

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Kids and NetGalley for the eARC!

This was a fun addition to the How To Catch series, where a group of kids accidentally disturb a groundhog and end up scaring him out of his home. With Groundhog day the next day, the kids decide that they have to catch this groundhog to save the holiday! This was an entertaining story that rhymed, had colorful illustrations, and is sure to engage readers. A little clunky at times, but overall a good read.

A fun book as kids try to catch the groundhog the day before groundhog day. But the Groundhog has other ideas and outsmarts the kids. The kids end up attracting other cute animals but not the groundhog. The rhymes were fun and of course on Groundhog day, he was there to bask in the sun and enjoy the accolades.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

I love the idea for this series, and there aren't enough cute rhyming books for kids. This was a lot of fun as the kids try to catch the groundhog, while the groundhog goes about his merry way. The kids don't realize that they don't need to chase the groundhog -- the tradition will go on anyway! The pictures were so bright, and this was so fun. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

A fun addition to the How to Catch... series! I love the rhyming! We have all of the books in our home library and can't wait to add this one to it! Even though my daughter is a tween... we still love all of these books and are very excited for this new addition!

As a homeschooling mom, I found "How to Catch a Groundhog" to be a delightful addition to our library. This cute little book is perfect for young readers and captures the whimsical spirit of Groundhog Day. With engaging illustrations and a charming storyline, it's sure to be a hit in February each year. I appreciate the creative approach to the theme, making it both fun and educational.

Thank you to NetGalley and SourceBook Kids for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I'm a sucker for the "how to catch a..." books! My library kiddos love them and get so excited when I read the title. They know they're in for a treat. This one is no different. I think there were some errors in this ARC, because text was missing in a few places. Colorful illustrations and easy to read art. This book is great for story time read a louds for preschoolers or for a school ager reading on their own.

Children are playing in the park and accidentally wake the groundhog living there. The Groundhog runs away and the children begin to chase him realizing Groundhog’s Day is the next day and they need him back so he can inform the town if winter will end soon. A fun book to use for Groundhog’s Day with rhymes and beautiful illustrations.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Wonderland for the advanced reader’s copy.

Idk maybe it’s just me but as a child who grew up in the same town as Phil I don’t feel like the store fit with the lore very much and my kiddo got bored faster than normal 😅
Thank you NetGalley for the arc!

Librarians would likely use this book for Storytimes celebrating Groundhog Day. Although, the rhymes were helpful in engaging me, I felt that it was a bit bland.

How to Catch a Groundhog is an educating and entertaining book in the "How to Catch" series written by Alice Walstead. The theme of this book is based on the age-old tradition and celebration of Groundhog Day. The story begins with the children playing in the open when they accidentally scare the Groundhog. They realise that the next day is supposed to be Groundhog Day, and they will not know whether the winter is gone and the town's celebration will suffer unless they can secure its return.
They try to trap it, lure it, and do everything possible to get it back to its cosy home. But the Groundhog eludes them. Whether the children find a way to bring it back? Will the townsfolk be able to celebrate the Groundhog Day as per their tradition? To know the answers, you will have to read this charming tale which acts as an effective way to teach and educate students about the traditions, nature, and the way our lives are inter-connected.
I enjoyed reading the book. The beautiful illustrations accompanying the story make it richer. So, if you have a young one in your house, don't miss this book.

Amazing illustrations and a fun rhyming story! I loved reading How to Catch a Daddysaur to my girls so I was excited for this book! Another great children’s read by Alice Walstead

Very cute and enjoyable read, as always from this author. I look forward to any future editions.

Thank you NetGalley, Alice Walstead, and Sourcebooks Kids for allowing my family to review.

How to Catch a Groundhog is an adorable picture book about a group of kids that accidentally disrupts a groundhog's den right before Groundhog's Day when they need him to tell them if winter is ending soon. This was more of an illustration focused book, with several pages that did not have text at all. But the illustrations were so cute, that that is all you needed to follow the story!

Thanks to NetGalley, Alice Walstead, and SourceBooks Kids for the chance to read and review this advance copy. My opinions are my own.

My son enjoys this silly series of books. He really enjoyed reading about the grumpy groundhog. The illustrations are fun and engaging. I love that some pages have no words. My son used those opportunities to point out different things to me. Definitely looking forward to the next book in this series!
