Synopsis

Freddy the Frogcaster and his friends are hoping for rain. Their town of Lilypad is dry, and plants and trees are brown because of a terrible drought. Freddy gets excited as he sees a storm coming that could bring water to thirsty trees and grass. He leaps into action to warn everyone to "be prepared!" Suddenly there’s a change in the forecast that could affect everyone’s plans—and make Freddy wonder if he’s meant to be a frogcaster. Sometimes valuable life lessons can be learned from making mistakes.

Once again, award-winning meteorologist Janice Dean introduces young readers to different weather conditions and gives valuable information to help them understand and avoid dangerous weather situations. The fifth title in this series, Freddy the Frogcaster and the Flash Flood, explains droughts, storms, floods, and flash floods, and encourages kids of all ages to be weather ready, just like our friend Freddy!

Review

"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." --Ainsley Earhardt, co-host of Fox & Friends

"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." --Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight on the Fox News Channel

"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!" --Shannon Bream, chief legal correspondent and Fox News anchor

"Our favorite frogcaster is back and teaching 'toad-ally' awesome weatherready 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." --Jen Carfagno, meteorologist and co-host of AMHQ on The Weather Channel

"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." --Ian Livingston, forecaster/photographer and information lead for the Washington Post Capital Weather Gang
