Freddy the Frogcaster, by Janice Dean, Fox News Channel senior meteorologist, is a ribbeting yarn about a young amphibian with a passion for weather and weather forecasting (or "frogcasting"). Freddy saves the day-and the Leapfrog Picnic-with a savvy prediction of a nasty storm that Polly Woggins, the vainglorious meteorologist at Frog News Network, missed the call on. Russ Cox's colorful illustrations bring the plucky protagonist and his pals to life; the rendering of Freddy's weather station, tucked into a mushroom in his backyard, elicited an emphatic "Awesome!" from my 7-year-old. Fellow Foxies Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly provide ebullient back-cover blurbs. Written for a Grade 2 reading level, Freddy the Frogcaster is ideally suited for the aspiring little TV meteorologist in your life.
