May I introduce myself? There is quite a lot to know. I’m Owen, a busy groundhog, and I am always on the go!
In Owen the Busy Groundhog, you can join this lovable furry friend on a bustling adventure! Endlessly curious, Owen is always on the go, digging burrows, munching on delicious peaches or figs, or diving in the creek. But when winter arrives, he knows it’s time to hibernate. He curls up in his cozy burrow until the first signs of spring. When the warmer weather awakens Owen, he peeks his head out, ready to start a new round of adventures—and perhaps get into some mischief!
With vibrant illustrations and engaging storytelling, Owen the Busy Groundhog is sure to be a favorite of readers young and old. No matter your age, you’ll delight in learning about the habits and habitats of groundhogs while following Owen’s exciting escapades.
