Brownie Groundhog and the February Fox

Brownie Groundhog wakes up in February to discover that there are still six more weeks of winter. Who comes along but a hungry fox, eager to gobble Brownie up? Brownie holds the fox off cleverly until the two animals become friends.

A story that is perfect for a Groundhog Day readaloud.

“Brownie picked up her basket and crunched across the clearing, leaving tracks in the snow. The fox scampered along beside her.

‘I don't suppose you've noticed any signs of spring,' said Brownie.

The fox's tummy grumbled. 'You,' he said.”
