Gregory’s Shadow- Book

Freeman, D. (2000). Gregory's Shadow. New York: Viking

 Gregory is the groundhog that the community is counting on to tell them if they are going to have 6 more weeks until spring. A few days before February 2nd Gregory loses his shadow. Throughout the book Gregory is trying to find were "Shadow" went. Soon they find each other and they present themselves to the community on Groundhog Day, February 2nd.  I would use this book to begin a lesson on shadows.
