I just read Jan Crossen’s Children’s book “The Adventures of Wilbur”, and then listened to it on audible.
I was very excited about both. The audible was so great to hear imagining a young child being able to listen to a book and learn to “read” this way. It’s a great tool for parents! They can put it in in the car or while cooking.
Jan is a storyteller and so wonderfully talented at it, because she is both entertaining and educational.
The illustrations are so crisp and beautiful!!
I loved the farm aspect, of course. Teaching children to love animals and care for them is so cool! Jan melted my heart with Wilbur! I was almost emotional.
She warns kids of dangers that can be found, and I think this so important. She does it in a way without scaring children.
I loved Wilbur!! These books would be great in school libraries and I think parents should have both, the book and the audible!

I appreciate that this author writes her books so they are age group appropriate. Her books are based on her own time growing up. The 3 YO in my life really liked this book.
