This was a great book on gardening. Of course, it took the angle of the groundhog pilfering food from other animals' gardens until he learned self-sufficiency with the help of his animal friends, but all the same the gardening in this book was spectacular. I love anything that Lynne Cherry does already, but this is the sort of book that would offer that fantastic opening to a unit on agriculture or plants. Good book with great illustrations. ( )

This is a book about how the groundhog learned to grow a garden with the help of a squirrel. And once all the vegetables and fruit were grown they picked them and had a feast with all of the other animas in town. ( )

This is a great science fiction book about the entire cycle of gardening. This book would be great for all elementary students. As a groundhog is caught stealing food form a neighbor, he is forced to make his own garden to eat from. This book goes through everything from gathering the right seeds to what the correct time and season is to plant each type of seed; and, it ends with determining when to harvest the plants. How to store the harvest goods during certain seasons is also explained. There is a variety of vegetables and plants described throughout this book. I rate this book a 5 out of 5 because it takes real facts about the good of creating your own garden and turns them into a cute story that young children would enjoy. ( )

Little Groundhog learns how to plant and tend to his own food garden through every season in this beautifully-illustrated, thoroughly researched picture book by naturalist Lynne Cherry.

Little Groundhog, in trouble for stealing from his friends' gardens, is taught by Squirrel to grow his very own. From seed-gathering to planting, harvesting, and eating home-grown fruits and vegetables, children join Little Groundhog in learning about the gardening process. At the end, Little Groundhog invites his animal friends to a Thanksgiving harvest feast.
Beautiful illustrations and thorough research on plants and insects make this sweet story an engrossing read, as well as a great picture-book introduction to how plants grow. Children and schools can follow Groundhog's lessons.
