3 on a Picture Book theme: Groundhog’s Day
As we celebrate the fact that our local groundhog did not see his shadow, we also thought we’d explore some of our favourite picture books that teach young readers about the sleepy habits of animals!
Hibernation Station, by Michelle Meadows
The sweet rhyming text of this book will calm even the most rambunctious kids and have them dreaming about what it’s like to hibernate. Young readers will be soothed and delighted as this story introduces them to different types of hibernating animals.
Bear Wants More, by Karma Wilson
When springtime comes, in his warm winter den a bear wakes up very hungry and thin! Bear's adventures (like being too fat to fit through the doorway) will entertain and delight young readers.
Go Home, Little One! by Cate James
Winter is approaching, and Florence the hedgehog wants to go outside and play in the woods with her squirrel friends before it's time to hibernate. As it starts to get cold, Florence isn’t sure she’s having fun anymore, and when a fox chases them, Florence definitely wants to go back home! With the help of her friends, she’s able to make it home in time for dinner and her long winter snooze.
