Each year on February 2, thousands of people descend on the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. They await the weather predictions of a furry little groundhog called Punxsutawney Phil. He's said to be able to correctly forecast if there will be 6 more weeks of winter or if spring will come early. Readers of this charming volume will learn how this tradition got started and just how accurate Phil has been over the years.

The Cinco de Mayo (5th of May) is a Mexican holiday, also celebrated in the United States, that celebrates the victory of Mexican forces over the French on May 5, 1862 at the Battle of Puebla.
