This book is reissued in a format well suited to beginning readers. Misled by an artificial flower, Groundhog tells the forest animals that "Spring is here!" Grumpy Pig proves Groundhog wrong and is blamed for more snow. Johnson's simple compositions and entertaining text are pleasingly child-centered.
