Groundhog is shocked and a bit ashamed when he discovers that he doesn't have innate weather-predicting gifts-especially when his mis-forecast ruins the spring carnival.

First he tries fixing his mistake, but when shoveling up the snow and hosing it away turns out to cause more problems, he realizes that

the only way to truly fix his mistake might just be to literally learn his meteorological lessons.

This laugh-out-loud funny picture book about getting things wrong and then making them right is not your average Groundhog Day read
