Will Spring Be Early? or Will Spring Be Late?

In this charming picture book by Crockett Johnson, a groundhog is so excited for spring that he jumps to conclusions, mistaking an artificial flower for a sign of the season. This gentle, humorous story explores the anticipation of spring and the funny mishaps that can happen when we're a little too eager. It's perfect for children aged 3-7, offering a lighthearted look at Groundhog Day and the changing seasons.

So anxious is the groundhog to predict an early spring that he is grossly misled by an artificial flower.
