The authors of the \u201cCritter Adventure Tales\u201d series, Roger Hukle and Elizabeth Hille, in collaboration with production\/graphics designer Susanne Arens of Crystal Peak Design, and performance artist\/voice talent Mark T. Epperson, are working to create a series of audio, electronic, and printed learning tools to assist young students in developing the reading, writing, and comprehension skills that are critical in having success in both academics (at all grade levels) and their eventual careers.<\/p>

Whether English is a primary or a secondary language (combined estimates of speakers which exceed 1.4 billion people worldwide), beginning the language\/learning process at an early age provides benefits that literally last a lifetime.<\/p>

Come with us as our \u201cCritters\u201d experience the many challenges of surviving in the wilderness \u2013 and overcome these challenges by being responsible, independent, and working together for the benefit of all.<\/p>
