“Budding weatherfrog Freddy makes his television debut as a hurricane roars over Lilypad. [Janice] Dean caps the episode with simply written comments about how hurricanes form and are categorized, historical tidbits, the difference between a ‘watch’ and a ‘warning,’ and more detail on preparing for a storm. Common-sense attitude and advice, sunnily conveyed.”

“Freddy is back! And so is the genius who created him, Janice Dean, who’s not only the best meteorologist in North America, but also one of the very best people. Buy this book. In fact, get two copies.”

“Tough calls keep coming when you’re a frogcaster. But when skies turn threatening, Freddy always stays cool while sharing important advice. In this enchanting edition, Janice Dean takes us back to Lilypad, where Freddy continues to introduce future generations of scientists to weather.”

““Our favorite frogcaster is back and teaching ‘toad-ally’ awesome weather-ready lessons! Flash flooding is the one of the most dangerous types of severe weather but also one of the hardest to predict. Weather-ready Freddy will help kids and grown-ups alike understand the complicated science of weather forecasting and why you should always be prepared.”

“The message taught in Freddy the Frogcaster and the Flash Flood is a beautiful reminder that we all make mistakes, name calling is hurtful, and being forgiving and positive are always best. Janice’s Freddy books incorporate valuable life lessons with knowledge about the weather and this book is an excellent teaching tool. In addition, the artwork is colorful and fantastic.”

“Janice’s passion for weather is infectious, and she’s hit yet another home run, combining humor and important emergency advice! She and Freddy also remind us there are bumps along the road to success, and that the only real failure is being too afraid to take a chance. You’ll love this charming adventure!”
