"For years, Janice Dean 'The Weather Machine' has been making meteorology fun for millions of Fox viewers. With Freddy the Frogcaster she does it again--only this time we get the fun, along with some valuable life lessons. Our whole family loved this book!"
--Megyn Kelly, host, Fox News Channel's The Kelly File

    10 things about me:

    I am from Tennessee and that does make me a hillbilly. Yes, I do play the banjo, but not the theme from Deliverance. Of course I follow NASCAR. It is in my genetics for goodness sakes.

    I grew up on old monster movies and Warner Brothers cartoons. Daffy Duck is my favorite cartoon character of all time. Walt is great, but give me Chuck Jones and Tex Avery any day of the week. I also have a passion for music. It is my second love.

    I was the artsy kid in school. I got to do the bulletin boards for the teachers. My artistic efforts did not impress the young ladies.

    I originally wanted to become an architect or an automotive designer. After bombing an automotive repair test, I had to change course. I did not get the automotive gene. Pre-calculus and physics made me realize that architecture was out. The love of drawing was pulling me elsewhere.

    Drawing has been part of my life since day one. I jokingly say that I was born with paper and pencil in hand. My mother does not think the joke is funny.

    In art school, I studied graphic design and minored in illustration. Illustration was my first love, but I was partial to eating and having a roof over my head. My cats liked that idea, too.

    Bulk of my life was spent in Pennsylvania where I met my wife; became a graphic designer; played in punk, alternative, and surf bands; had two kids, well my wife did; and started my own illustration studio, Smiling Otis Studio.

    I love winter and the snow, so I tricked, er, convinced my wife to head further north.

    I now live in Maine with my wife and 4 cats. Our two kids had enough sense to get out before we became the crazy cat people.

    Children's books are now my main focus. I loved them as a kid. The little boy in me has never left, he just guided me back to where I belong. He could have taken a more direct approach but, but like a typical guy, he did not want to follow directions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freddy Saves the Day!
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2013

What a great first book by Janice Dean "The Weather Machine"! Freddy the Frogcaster is a delightful story of a young frog named Freddy who just loves to learn about and forecast the weather. Janice does a great job of telling a cute story while teaching youngsters about the weather. Children will love how Freddy gains his knowledge about forecasting the weather and how he uses that knowledge to save the day for the town's picnic. Mixed in with the story are meteorological terms that children will learn as they read. The glossary in the back is very informative to help explain the words in depth. The cast of characters in the book will make you smile: Sally Croaker, meteorologist for the Frog News Network and Mrs. Fibian, Freddy's teacher are two of my favorites. Not only is the story cute and humorous, it also teaches a lesson. Freddy helped the mayor and the town by warning of nasty weather that could disrupt the town's picnic and put the frogs in danger. What I liked is how the mayor trusted Freddy, even though he's a young frog. There are great lessons there. The illustrations are colorful and humorous and will keep a child's attention. With an entertaining story and wonderful illustrations, this is a must have book for children. Adults will enjoy it, too, as I have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspires a love of science

Freddy the Frogcaster entertains while also teaching kids to love learning. Meteorologist Janice Dean combines her weather expertise with Russ Cox's engaging, humorous illustrations for a story that's irresistible to both child and parent.
The text is inspiring and fun to read aloud. Freddy is a froggy who has loved weather since he was a baby. He studies weather patterns and shares them at show-and-tell and everywhere else he can. When the local TV meteorologist fails to do her job well, the town turns to Freddy. This little guy saves the day just in time for the big Leapfrog Picnic.
Kids are inspired to study up on their own areas of interest. For those fascinated by Freddy's favorite field, there are several pages of meteorological definitions and explanations at the end of the book.
My 7-year-old nephew loves it, and so does my 22-month-old son. Lately it's the only book he's grabbing from the bookshelf. I think younger kids are drawn in by the pictures, while older ones love that it's the little guy to the rescue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Kids & Grandparents!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017

This is rating is based on my Mom's reaction since I got it for her as a gift. My mother loves children's books, is a grandmother and has great respect for Janice Dean. Janice Dean is a meteorologist on Fox News and before Harvey (the hurricane) hit, she correctly predicted that Houston would get 51" of rain. This book is the first in a series of books she has written on weather for children. It includes a page where she encourages kids to look outside at the clouds and identify the type that they see, etc. It's a great book to introduce kids to weather. (Her other books focus on specific weather conditions, i.e.: flash floods, tornadoes, etc).

This book is excellent for understanding weather and the terminology for children (and adults) to comprehend. The cartoons of the frogs and other characters are excellent. I liked the explanation of the terms used at the end of book... very helpful. The cartoons are cute as well as descriptive in mood and expression. Highly recommended for young children. Adults will also learn items from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story and GREAT learning resource for kids!
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014

I just downloaded the kindle version of this book to read to my grandson. He's still pretty young so he'll like the artwork and will grow into the story. However, for an older child, especially a reader, this story is adorable and the learning resources at the back of the book are exceptional. It makes learning about weather forecasting fun and easy. I recommend it for young readers. I am still laughing about frogs eating "fried cricket sandwiches." Weather forecaster and author, Janice Dean, did an excellent job with this book. It should inspire many kids to want to learn more about weather and forecasting and teaches a valuable lesson about being prepared! There are a few more good life lessons tucked in there, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for youngsters
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
The book has bright and colorful pictures, and a good storyline where working hard at what you enjoy will have its rewards. Some large words that must be explained to younger folks - e.g. meteorologist, barometer, etc... but they have to learn them sometime so why not now. The term "frogcasting" is innovative, however again, the younger folks may not make the translation to forecast without a little help at first. I recommend it and recommend mom or dad or grand ma or pa read along so all can learn together. In the back are meteorological terms explained after the story depending on the age. A fun book. A good story. Some words that may need to be explained but words they will hear everyday in the weather reports.

5.0 out of 5 stars Froggy is a Great Series
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

I bought the whole Freddy series for my 5 YO granddaughter because she's always asking questions about weather. She reads at a third grade level but her mom still sits with her to answer new questions. She loves the books. I was a little anxious when I bought the one on tornadoes, because she's afraid of any thunderstorm--thinks a tornado might take her house away or hurt her and her parents. The book helped her better understand rain, hail, thunder, etc, and now she is MUCH less fearful when she hears thunder or sees dark clouds. She understands what's happening, what to do if the storm is really bad, and she's not really afraid like before. Thank you, Janice Dean, for calming her with information!
