The Adventures of Wilbur, A Part-time Farm Cat
My name is Wilbur and I am a cat. This is my kingdom but how should I act? There are new people now here on the farm. Will they be friend or foe, causing me harm? We cats are curious, this much is true. Would you be brave, or, what would you do? The Adventures of Wilbur, a Part-time Farm Cat is the tale of a cat on a quest to check-out the new people living on a farm in his territory. It is an exciting, heartwarming, and sometimes humorous, story for early readers who love the regal personalities, amusing antics, and loveable ways of cats. This book is also about being brave and kind; and the importance of finding friends who accept us for whom we truly are. These are important lessons for all ages! This is the first title in The Farm Adventures Series for readers ages 6-9. "Jan's books are the perfect blend of entertaining and educational." Heather Huffman, Contemporary Romance, Women's Fiction, and Cozy-Mystery Writer

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.
