"Phil is your average groundhog. He's boring. he eats clover. He likes to be on time. But his shadow has other ideas. He's adventurous. He likes spicy food. And he always takes time to stop and smell the roses. But the most of all he wants to travel the world. When Phil tells his uncooperative shadow to go away, Shadow packs up and does just that. Phil wonders if he'll ever see his shadow again. And what's a groundhog without his shadow?" --Jacket....
