In this cozy picture book, it’s time to hibernate--but our little groundhog is NOT sleepy. So she tries to stay up all winter . . . and almost misses Groundhog Day!

As snow gently blankets the land, the Groundhogs prepare for their long, snuggly hibernation. But little Tess is wide awake!

Tess’s parents try everything to get her to sleep, but she knows every trick in the book. When Mommy and Daddy fall asleep without her, will Tess be able to stay up all winter? Or will she snore her way through Groundhog Day?

Join Tess in this wintery bedtime story perfect for readers who are wide awake when the rest of their world is sleepy.
