Jeannie has come back to Crab Lake, Wisconsin with her family, like she does every winter. She and all the woodland creatures around the lake will partake in great fun, mischief and adventure, and you can read all about it in these five sweet tales.
The lovable animals of Crab Lake are back in these five sweet, fun, and thrilling stories. Jeannie is back in Wisconsin for the winter to play, catch up, and share the joy of the holidays with some of her woodland friends, like Pudgey Bear, Belknap Beaver, and Mr. O’Possum. From making Christmas dinner, helping escaped polar bears, and battling a snowstorm, these tales will have you entertained from beginning to end. Jeannie and all the animals of Crab Lake teach everyone that friendship and coming together to help others is what leads to the greatest of adventures.
Jeannie loves going to Crab Lake with her family every summer. But this year is extra special because she's visiting at Christmas too! Jeannie gets to see all her animal friends from over the years in winter for the first time ever, and they share with her the secret of Crab Lake that she never knew existed.
All the animals in the forest are abuzz. Jeannie, the kindest and most beautiful lady they know, is coming to Crab Lake for Christmas! The animals love to watch Jeannie from a distance when she visits in the summer, but they have never had a chance to talk to her before now-for, as everyone knows, animals can only talk in the winter. This time, however, they can finally say a proper hello. So come to Crab Lake for Christmas, and spend the evening with Jeannie and her forest friends: bear cub Pudgey and his family, kindly Mr. Woodchuck, distinguished Bellknap Beaver, and the deer, the wolves, the cardinals, and more! Beautiful illustrations by Christine Cathers Donohue bring them all to life in David Mulford's charming tale of friendship, family, and fun.

There is a newcomer at Crab Lake this winter, big and fierce and intimidating. He is a mountain lion, and none of the creatures of Crab Lake - nor Jeannie - have ever met an animal like this, and they've never been so nervous. Where did he come from? Why is he here? Is he dangerous? Some of the animals think so, but Jeannie is brave, and wants to welcome Mr. Mountain Lion to the lake even though his large paws, long white teeth and bright yellow eyes are a little scary. The third book in the Crab Lake Tales series, The Mountain Lion at Crab Lake will teach you the importance of not judging someone by their appearance, and of embracing those things that make us unique. Discover who Mr. Mountain Lion really is and revisit Jeannie's enchanting world in The Mountain Lion at Crab Lake!
