Title: Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado
Topic: Book Review
Discussed by Janice Dean
with Janice Dean (www.weather.blogs.foxnews.com)
Part 1 of 2
Janice Dean “The Weather Machine” from Fox has written a terrific children’s book “Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado”. She will be at the Barnes and Nobles in The Woodlands TONIGHT, May 2, from 7-9 pm.
A little background: Janice grew up in Canada. She was always fascinated with storms, especially the big ice storms that would cripple the cities and towns for weeks at a time. Although she wanted to know the answer to “why” weather phenomenon occurred, instead of studying meteorology, she became a broadcaster and journalist! Janice worked as a radio DJ and was also able to present the weather part-time for a local TV station. So she had the best of both worlds! Listen in as she describes the “rest of the story” and how she became “The Weather Machine” at Fox.
In the next segment, Janice Dean discusses her new book, “Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado”. How old should your children be when you start explaining “bad weather”? What are the best ways to approach the subject? What kinds of weather are there? How should parents react to extreme weather so their children will remain calm?
BONUS: Janice Dean lived in Houston for a while and worked at 93Q and Sunny 99.1!

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado
Topic: Book Review
Discussed by Janice Dean
with Janice Dean (www.weather.blogs.foxnews.com)
Janice Dean says, “People have asked me for book recommendations for
their kids. As parents, we don’t know how to describe how a
thunderstorm happens, or a hurricane, or tornado, or a flood.” After doing
her own research, Janice discovered that really wasn’t much information
available for parents to explain weather patterns to their children. So, she
decided to do something about it!
“Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado” is the fourth book in
the series by Janice Dean “The Weather Machine”. You can learn more about the
other three books
here. She believes that when your kids begin asking about weather is
the perfect time to explain it! Don’t put it off because you aren’t sure about
the answers. Use Google or YouTube – better yet, use her books with “Freddy
the Frogcaster”!
Your kids will never even realize they are learning about science and weather
while reading “Freddy the Frogcaster and the Terrible Tornado”. Come to
the Barnes and Nobles in The Woodlands TONIGHT at 7 pm to meet Janice Dean “The
Weather Machine” and get a copy of the book signed!
