Another delightful, well written and attention grabber by Janice Dean, Freddy the Frogcaster and the Big Blizzard, reminiscent of her first book Freddy The Frogcaster, this one will not disappoint. My 7 year old was just about rolling on the floor, and enjoyed the story so much; I had to read it again. He delighted in the eye-catching illustrations, and the whimsical names, Sally Croaker and Polly Woggins, and of course, he had to add his own few that he came up with.In this book he also had a learning lesson about what the family should have to be prepared for a bad winter storm. He knows we already have some of the items that were listed, we also went over where all of the things are located, and we need to pick up some more batteries.If you are looking for a great book, that is eye catching, and keeps your childâs attention, I highly recommend this one. My little guy did decide that he didnât want to try the fried cricket stew.At the end of the book there is a highly educational area on weather conditions, and again has illustrations. There is also a winter checklist with what ifâs, and good hints.I received this book through the publisher Regnery Kids, and was not required to give a positive review.
Freddy the Frogcaster has turned his hobby, meteorology, into an after-school job. While weather conditions like snowstorms can be fun (snowball fights!), Freddy warns others that they can also be dangerous. His actions help save a friend during a big weather event - and teach a lesson about planning ahead.Young readers get to learn about meteorology, follow the quick-moving action of the story, and become inspired to turn their own hobbies into potential careers. The bright colors and bold illustrations thrill even the littlest book lovers, while older kids love the exciting storyline. Five stars!
About the Book:Freddy the Frog loves learning about the weather, and heâs known for having the best predictions in town. But what happens when a blizzard rolls in?About the Author:Known as âJanice Dean the Weather Machine,â Janice Dean has been predicting the weather on Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network since 2004. She is a trained meteorologist and she loves to share her scientific knowledge, and the inspiration that led to her passion for weather, with kids and adults alike. Before Fox, she had a long career working at various radio and TV stations as a DJ, anchor, and host.Russ Cox is an award-winning illustrator and animator, and founder of Smiling Otis Studio. His illustrations have won first-place in the Published, People's Choice, and Emerging Artist categories at the New England The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators conference. He lives in Maine with his wife, their four cats, and a banjo.My Review: Freddy is always been the go-to guy in town for the weather forecasts. He really had his work cut out for him when a blizzard was headed towards Lilypad. He really didn't want to scare anyone, but in so many ways, the townspeople didn't really take him too seriously. He cared for them and didn't want them to get hurt or be unprepared. So he set about ways to help them get through this troublesome time. After all from past storm events, Freddy learned that being prepared is the best thing to do especially in an extreme weather event such as a blizzard. One of Freddy's good friends Polly Woggins was more concerned with during live reports in the middle of the storm instead of making sure she was prepared. Freddy knew that he would have to step in and help his friend and that is exactly what he intended to do. Freddy packed his friend a blizzard kit filled with all the things she would need during this major weather event items such as radio, first aid kit, blanket, flashlight, water, and a snack. And in spite of Polly reassuring him, she would be fine he still made sure the news van was equipped with the bag. Even though Freddy, his family and the whole town of Lilypad was about to endure a very troublesome storm, Freddy still found time to look out for his friends--he knew their safety and the safety of others was very important. Janice Dean, the author has also provided in the book some general terms related to weather and blizzards and has even included a Winter Storm Checklist. This book has a sweet story as well as tons of great information that will teach our children just how important it is to pay attention to those weather forecasts and to be prepared!If you would like to purchase this book, you can do so at this link.**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author.
Once again, Janice Dean warms our hearts and delights us with her superb knowledge of all things weather and TV related. Her talents shine through in this sequel (Nice job mentioning the Chroma Key/ Green Screen). Lilypad is about to be in a deep freeze and although the sound of a huge snowstorm sounds ominous, Freddy puts his friends fears at ease with tips on how to prepare for such emergencies. A great learning tool and story for both kids and adults ! The glossary of Winter Storm tips should be in everyone's household to know exactly what to do. A marvelous read ! By the way, if your at home and snowbound, make sure ya got enough hot fried cricket stew to go around ! it's gonna be a chilly night !
Our family is so happy to have another adventure starring Freddy to share together! We read the book last night and both 5 and 8 year old loved it! I love that it's a challenging book with sophisticated words for the older kids, but younger ones are still captivated by the story. And as with the last Freddy book, the extra science in the back makes it a fantastic learning tool in a very entertaining voice. I could see the Freddy series being very useful and popular in the classroom. We can't wait for the next one!
This is the second Freddy the Frogcaster book that I purchased for my Grandson who was 3 1/2 when we got it. We live in the South so we don't get much if any snow here but it still helped explain to my Grandson how different states have different weather. He loved it & he can't wait for us to get some snow! Thank You again for another great book Janice Dean & we can hardly wait to get the Hurricane book so that it can help me explain to him about Hurricanes without scaring him.
I bought 3 books Janice wrote. It's amazing how much kids learn from these books. My grand kids live in Texas. I send them pictures of snow where I live in Colorado. I tried to tell them someone spread flour on the ground. They didn't fall for it, saying; that's snow. I asked how do you know. The answer was books. Thank you Janice
