Book Review: Brownie Groundhog and February Fox

“Brownie Groundhog and February Fox,” by Susan Blackaby. Pictures by Carmen Seqouia. Though the pictures match the simplistic story I didn’t really like this book. Sure the groundhog was cute, but she ties up the fox. Sure a fox shouldn’t want to eat a nice groundhog, but I happen to like foxes. So I was upset when the fox was sad he was left being tied up to a tree. Yes, the groundhog untied the fox, but by that time I wasn’t too keen on the book. On the up side, I liked that the book used words like grousing. This teaches kids words they might not have heard of before.
