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.

I have always loved the "How To Catch A" series and this book was no different. This is a great book to add to the series. The illustrations were great and colorful!

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!

This is such a colorful, fun book to read with little ones all year, not just around Groundhog's Day. The author and illustrator take us along on a fun adventure with a group of kids who are trying to get the groundhog home in time before his big day after accidentally scaring him off while playing. It's a great way to talk to kids about what Groundhog Day is but it's also a wonderful way to start a conversation about respecting nature and ways to do just that. This book is perfect for kids ages 3-6.

This needs to be added to every elementary school and preschool for a fun groundhog day story! It was SO fun! My four kids cherished the story and asked to read it multiple times.

Thank you, Netgalley, Alice Walstead, and Sourcebooks kids for the ebook. This was such a fun read and my daughter really loved it. The illustrations were great and story was funny!

My kids love the How to Catch Series, so I was thrilled to get an E-Arc for this new book that publishes in December.

A group of children are playing outside when they accidentally scare the groundhog away from his home. They try to entice him back with tricks and traps, but are unsuccessful. The groundhog continues to elude them but makes it back safely in time for Groundhog Day. I learned from this book that groundhogs can actually climb trees. I had to look it up, because I didn't believe it.

The artwork is cute, the kids remorse heartfelt and the story fun. Some of the rhymes fell a bit flat for me, but I think most young readers would forgive the author of this fabulous series.

The "How to Catch a..." books are always a big hit with students! This is a fun read for Groundhog Day, and will be great to incorporate into lessons for that event.

my daughter and I are loving this series of "How to catch a..." books, we love ready one each holiday and reading about each theme

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is so stinking cute! Just like all the others in this series. I love reading these with my daughter at night and this one was no different. The illustrations are amazing and so colorful.

Another great book in this series. My daughter thought the artwork was good. She enjoyed learning about groundhogs.

This was an engaging read that spotlighted learning about Groundhogs Day in a really fun way! I thought the illustrations were very colorful and very eye-catching. I think this would make a great addition to any young readers collection of books. My kids are definitely a fan of this author's "How To Catch A" books and I will be adding this one to our collection when it's released.

Thank you Alice Walstead, Emma Gillette, Andy Elkerton, Net Galley and Sourcebooks Kids for providing me with an ARC of this book!
