"It is the story of a family of groundhogs who learn that each
member of the family is special and has something to contribute, regardless
of size, strength, or age.
Each member of Phil's family was named after something to do with
the weather.
On their own special pages they will tell you something about their
names, play fun and educational games with you and teach you about
weather."
