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.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

“How to Catch a Groundhog” by Alice Walstead is cute and engaging story. The illustrations are bright and interactive that captured my kiddos eyes with interest!

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.

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.

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.

My daughter loves the “How to Catch a…” series, and this is another cute addition with lots of fun rhymes and colorful, detailed pictures for us to talk about.

As a parent, I always appreciate books about the lesser holidays like Groundhog Day so that we have a few options to read around the day and make it fun. I also like the diverse representation in the illustrations.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc.

My kids enjoy the "How to Catch a..." series, and the Groundhog title is another fun addition! A group of kids try to catch a crafty groundhog in anticipation of Groundhog Day. We all enjoyed the rhyming verse and silly antics we have come to love of this series.

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Kids for gifting my family with an ARC to review! All opinions are our own.
