Review

Whimsical...A motivational nudge to develop talent—innate or acquired. - Kirkus

This pro-science fable ...makes an unmistakable point: there are no shortcuts to understanding one's calling, one's strengths, or the natural world. - Publishers Weekly

Townes provides a witty take on the bizarre tradition of Groundhog Day, enhanced by a well-paced plot that humorously relies on the tension caused by Groundhog's unearned authority...Miles' digital illustrations highlight the action and humorous moments, and auxiliary sound effects and speech bubbles will support a spirited storytime rendition. - BCCB
