Punxsutawney Phil and His Weather Wisdom

Rating:
Summary: Both entertaining and educational
Review: I ordered this book for my son, who was born on Groundhogs Day (finding it after doing a search on Amazon for anything on the subject of Groundhogs Day). I was extremely pleased to find that not only was the book very entertaining for the younger set, but was a very good introduction to the science of weather. The author did an excellent job of illustrating weather concepts with the use of groundhog characters (e.g., Sunny, Tornado, Fog, etc.), and also included a glossary of weather terms.

I originally bought the book as a novelty for my son's birthday, but now regard it as a child's introduction to the weather. Both adults and children will enjoy Punxsutawney Phil and His Weather Wisdom.

Coincidentally, although I had purchased the book last year, I happened to meet the author at a small country fair two weeks ago, while on a trip back East (in Webatuck, NY, no less -- home of the world's largest chair. (Living in Webatuck means always having to spell your address.) Thanks for the groundhog cookie cutter -- I'll think of you every February 2nd!
