Critter Mania

Critter Mania
Welcome to the hidden world of the Willamette National Forest!

When a leisurely float on Salmon Creek turns into the madcap "Critter Litter Race," the woodland creatures of Oakridge, Oregon reveal their secret lives in this whimsical tale of forest hijinks.

Follow the misadventures of Earthquake Hank the weasel, Smelly the mink, Coldwater Jack the bobcat with a bad stutter, and Hackwood the chipmunk as they navigate forest life with questionable decision-making skills. From racing on discarded litter to faking their own deaths, forming a musical quartet, and even attempting to blend in at a human rock concert, these land critters create constant chaos that leaves the water dwellers-Kickstart the turtle, Jigworm the frog, and Grandma Chuckit the otter-utterly baffled.

When the land critters' antics threaten the natural order of the forest, they'll need guidance from Granny Hooty, the wise old owl, and Doc Raven's flock to set things right. Join this colorful cast on their journey to learn where they truly belong in the balance of the Willamette National Forest.

Written by Hoot Speckles (aka Gene Davis), this delightfully quirky tale reveals the "untold story of what is really going on behind the scenes hidden in plain sight" in the woodland community of Oakridge, Oregon. With humor, heart, and a touch of forest wisdom, Critter Mania reminds us all about finding our proper place in nature's grand design.

Perfect for readers of all ages who enjoy whimsical animal tales with a touch of woodland wisdom!
