This entertaining book is about a frog named Freddy. He loves the weather, and he's very good at forecasting. Freddy has his own weather station in his backyard. Freddy is a reliable weather source for his community. He takes forecasting the weather seriously. This cute informative book shows the importance of meteorology and meteorologists. This book emphasizes that forecasting the weather is more than just being on TV, and it takes meteorological knowledge to forecast the weather. Also, this book emphasizes that people rely on weather forecasts. This book introduces weather vocabulary along with the importance of meteorologists and the tools needed to forecast the weather. In the back of the book, a list of important meteorological vocabulary words are provided. I found this book to be both entertaining and informational. Although the cover says it is for 2nd graders, I feel this book would be great for ages 8-10. ( )
