On the cover there's a groundhog wearing a jester's cap with bells. Now I'm longing for Renfaire. Illustrations of the family home show Punxsutawney Phil after Punxsutawney Phil. The book's title character is a self-proclaimed Weather Prophet Extraordinaire. How could she not be with a name like Punxsutawney Phyliss?

Phyllis the groundhog wakes up on April first, the day of the planned treasure hunt, feeling funny in her stomach; Phyllis knows winter is not over and that it is going to snow. She is right, but no one listens to her. Her friends pretend snow is falling, but then say, “April Fool!” Phyllis and her friends go on the treasure hunt, staying warm as snow begins to fall, following mysterious clues that lead them finally to the treasure.

I'm in the minority as I glanced at the other ratings as not really being bowled over by this title (there's one in every crowd). Seeing Punxsutawney Phyllis as a character automatically puts my time setting as February...yet this is an April Fool's holiday book set, of course, April 1st. Because Phyllis sniffs out snow as "Weather Prophet Extraordinaire" and shares with everyone that a blizzard is coming, they assume it is her April Fool's joke. Even though the book didn't appeal t

It is April fool's day and Phyllis the groundhog is trying to convince everyone a blizzard is coming, but no one believes her and they are all busy with a treasure hunt.
This is such a clever tale weaving two plots together really well. On the one side you have the part about the blizzard coming and how can Phyllis convince everyone that it is coming. And on the other side, everyone is busy following the next clue to the treasure hunt. The two parts come together in a very clever way a More...

My Review: Punxsutawney Phyllis knew everything about the weather and when she woke up on April First, the day of spring she knew winter wasn’t over yet and that a blizzard is brewing. She needed to let the others know so that the treasure hunt has to be canceled. But will they believe her since its April Fools’ Day and would Phyllis find a way to save April Fools’ Day from disaster?

Delightful story whimsically illustrated. Passes the read-to-a-little-one test with flying colors...my nieces and nephews dissolved in giggles, and loved solving the riddles, and watching those snowflakes appear.

Great little story about playing pranks with reference to Groundhog Day. Interesting background info about the history of April Fools Day.

Excellent for school librarians who want holiday books - 2 celebrations in one read. And there are riddles! This would make a great read-aloud for April Fool's Day (not alot out there on that topic.)

Phyllis the groundhog KNOWS that it a storm is coming. However, her family and friends do not head her warning that they should postpone the Spring Treasure Hunt. Lovable characters and beautiful illustrations make this a fun read. The writing is done in a way that is enjoyable for a large age variety. Silly but informative, my favorite combination!
