Groundhog vs. Cupid
Get ready for the fight of the season in Festive Feuds, a rollicking picture book series featuring beloved and iconic characters competing to see who will come out on top. This time, Valentine's Day and Groundhog Day are duking it out in a laugh-out-loud companion to Leprechaun vs. Easter Bunny and Turkey vs. Santa! A self-important groundhog is excited for the big day when his shadow (or lack thereof) will decide if winter is over. But he finds himself overlooked as people stock up on candy hearts, write romantic couplets, and hope to be struck by Cupid's arrow! Meanwhile, Cupid himself spreads love and joy, oblivious to the groundhog's frustration. Can the two holiday icons learn to share the spotlight? Or will their battle for people's hearts get out of control? Find out in this silly celebration of two kid-favorite holidays: Groundhog Day and Valentine's Day!

Praise for this book
Praise for Leprechaun vs. Easter Bunny:
* "Hilarious brinkmanship that will have audiences rolling.... This laugh-out-loud picture book should be a staple for all children's libraries holiday sections."--School Library Journal, starred review
"Riotously funny...will have readers giggling all year long. Skilled storytellers will enjoy hamming up the action as the characters attempt to assert their dominance over their hillside home. Slapstick fun for any season."--Kirkus
"Tarpley's rigorously rhyming text sustains high levels of animation-style one-upmanship throughout, and Laberis's digital artwork gets all the seasonal imagery right, with eggs, baskets, gold coins, tulips, and hearts strewn across the green grass, and four-leaf clovers under a rainbow's glow."--Publishers Weekly
