Jeannie's Crab Lake Christmas

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.

Aside from writing delightful children's stories to share, David Mulford has had a long career in international affairs, including a Doctorate of Philosophy from Oxford, presidential appointments as U.S. Ambassador to India and Undersecretary of the U.S Treasury. He has been Vice Chairman International of Credit Suisse and today is a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institute, Stanford University. When they aren't traveling, David and Jeannie reside in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
