There are three adorable stories in
this installment of Werner Stejskal’s children’s book series, Oliver and Jumpy.
We follow Oliver, the dapper and clever cat, and his best friend Jumpy the
Kangaroo with these new stories:
- Ice
- Mice Chase
- Dragon Heat
In Ice, Oliver wakes one cold morning to find a beautiful ice scene
outside his window. Oliver decides to go ice skating with all of his friends.
His friend Joey is having a difficult time skating, so Oliver helps him and the
two friends end up in an action-packed and scary adventure.
In Mice Chase, we find out that,
although Oliver is a cat, he’s a cat that doesn’t eat mice because he’s
allergic to them. Mausi the Mouse is one of Oliver’s friends and needs some
help. He knows he can count on Oliver to keep him and his family safe from all
the other cats by teaching them some escape techniques.
In Dragon Heat, Oliver and Jumpy
come across a blackened and charred forest, and wonder what’s happened. A very large
mail carrier ant explains it’s the work of a destructive dragon. Oliver and
Jumpy enlist the help of a giant and the three friends search for the dragon to
stop him from causing any more damage.
As before, I enjoyed these Oliver
and Jumpy stories. They’re fantastically illustrated, full of action and
adventure, and are sure to become favorite go-to stories for children. I highly
recommend Mr. Stejskal’s Oliver and Jumpy book series for children, parents,
grandparents and caregivers!
