Little Groundhog, in trouble for stealing from his friends' gardens, is taught by Squirrel to grow his very own.

At the end, Little Groundhog invites his animal friends to a Thanksgiving harvest feast.

This book is stellar.  My daughter has been enraptued by it for several years, and the appeal never seems to fade.  Last Winter, she started talking about wanting to grow our own garden, and this Spring, she helped me plant peas, peppers, beans, basil and mint in some containers.

The book contains lots of great factual information while having an entertaining story, huge amounts of details and wonderful artwork.

This book is very highly-recommended.
