Jan Crossen is a gold level Mom's Choice Award winning author who became an avid reader when her teacher, Mrs. Sarah Blower, read Charlotte's Web, to her fourth grade class in Athens, Ohio. From then on, she was hooked on books!
Jan began writing stories after she won the Tall Tale Tellers Contest in Mrs. Blower's class. Oh, how Jan wishes she could tell her teacher what a powerful, positive influence she was on her young student!
Today, Jan writes stories about people and animals who have touched her own heart and life. Her books, FOREVER, and They Call Me CAT, were inspired by her adopted son, Joshua.
The rest of the books on her author shelf were inspired by animals she has lived with and loved. Jan is happily married and lives on a small farm, on an island, in rural Washington state.
Our six-year-old granddaughter was primed for this tale. Her family garden is plagued with slugs, they live in the country, and have been contemplating building a small pond for years, something she wanted. When I read her the story, she immediately caught on to the immediate implications: solve the slug problem, have an excuse to build a pond, and get to keep a relatively low maintenance pet (“I promise I’ll take care of them, Mommy. Everything I need to know is in the book.”). And Grandpa gets some credit for setting things up. So thanks to Crossen once again for an engaging, entertaining, informative children’s story.
