February: Substitute Groundhog by Pat Miller

It’s almost Groundhog Day! Everyone knows that Groundhog has an important job to do every February 2, but this year he’s not feeling well. Dr. Owl diagnoses him with the flu and orders two days of bed rest. But how will people know the weather forecast if Groundhog is down in his hole in bed? Then Groundhog has in idea―he can hire a substitute! Will he be able to find a substitute or will Groundhog Day be cancelled this year?
