Illustrated by
Paul Meisel.
Although he's set his alarm clock for February 2, Groundhog is restless and keeps getting up for a wander--meeting a Halloween witch, a turkey, and Santa Claus, each of whom tucks him back into bed with a seasonally appropriate story. It's a cute idea, and the story's structure is nicely rhythmic. Painterly paneled- and full-page illustrations are both festive and cozy.
