More About the Author

Debbie Reber hails from Reading, Pennsylvania, a city best known as the home of the 'Reading Railroad' from Monopoly and darned good pretzels.


Debbie graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Broadcast & Cable. (This was back in the stone ages when 'cable television' was a new phenomenon'it got its own major!). After graduation, she moved to NYC to make it big in the world of broadcast news, just like Holly Hunter's character in the movie by the same name. When that didn't happen, she decided to save the world instead, and produced videos, PSAs (public service announcements) and documentaries for CARE, UNICEF and the PBS show Rights & Wrongs: Human Rights Television.

While living in NYC, Debbie apparently decided that working fulltime didn't keep her busy enough, so she simultaneously attended The New School for Social Research, where she earned her MA in Media Studies, with a focus on documentary and media criticism.

With even more student loans to pay off, Debbie left the world of nonprofit and jumped into children's television, where she worked on Blue's Clues for Nickelodeon and developed original programming for Cartoon Network. It was while working at Cartoon Network that she sold her first book, Run for Your Life: A Book for Beginning Women Runners.

She loved the process of writing a book, and loved seeing her name in print even more. So in 2003, Debbie turned in the key to her corporate office and traded it in for a lime green Ikea chair, an all-in-one desk unit and a tiny corner of her den to eke out a living as a fulltime writer. She's never looked back. (Okay, there was that one time she looked back, but that was a while ago, and since then, things have been going smashingly well).

Debbie has written a number of books for teens, tweens and even preschoolers, including the new series from Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, The Real Deal and more than a dozen Blue's Clues books. Her latest book, In Their Shoes: Amazing Women Describing Amazing Jobs (Simon Pulse) comes out in April 2007.

Debbie lives in Seattle with her strikingly handsome husband Derin, adorable little boy Asher and trusty, white German Shepherd, Baxter. She is a volunteer running coach with the Puget Sound chapter of Girls on the Run, and an advisory board member for the teen girl mentoring organization, WriteGirl.

This review is from: Weather Games With Blue (Blue's Clues) (Board book)

This book is excellent! I have a 20 month old who loves Blue's Clues and we have recently discovered this book series. As any fan of this show would expect, this book offers plenty of opportunities to interact with your child as they discover the effects of different types of weather in Blue's backyard. My child's language development has been enhanced by naming and pointing to the items in the brilliantly colored pictures. This book immediately captured my child's attention and even though we read it every day she still gets excited when I pull it out for her! As a Child Development Specialist by day and a Mommy by night, I can't say enough good things about this board book and the others offered in this series!

This review is from: Blue's Clues: Weather Games With Blue! (Fearless) (Paperback)

My son loves Blue. I thought I would get him a couple books about her. I found this book on here very cheap as a gently used book, less than a dollar (plus shipping), so I went ahead and bought it. Even at that low price, I was very disappointed. It took a very long time to ship...but that is on the seller. It does say in the description that this book is about Blue and "Kevin". I didn't even know there was a Kevin. I guess I read right over it thinking that there was only Steve and Joe. That was my fault, but I've never heard of him, so I was disappointed the moment I opened the book. Also, the book that I received was advertised as a paperback, has a picture of a paperback, but came as a mini board book. There are a few words that I was upset about, especially since my son is learning to read: "recognise", "colours", and it calls Shovel and Pail "Bucket and Spade". Overall, not worth my three dollars. Very upset that I can't give this book to my son. I thought about donating it to a preschool but I'm not sure if they would want it due to the misspellings? Overall, there are better Blue's Clues books out there. Pass on this one.

My daughter loves Blue but for some reason this book does not capture her attention like the other books we own. Maybe it is because she does not understand fog yet or why the wind blows things into the yard? She is 29 mos old now. Regardless of that, we love Blue and maybe the book will hold her interest when she is a bit older.
