I LOVE children's author Werner Stejskal's Oliver and Jumpy book series! Stories 52-54 continue this awesome story collection.
These stories are the latest three
in the Oliver and Jumpy series. They include:
- Oliver the Babysitter
- Smoke Over the Sea
- Raindrop
As before, readers follow the
adventures of Oliver the dapper black and white cat, and his best friend Jumpy
the Kangaroo. In Oliver the Babysitter, Oliver learns he’s about to become an
uncle again. His sister is expecting her fourth baby and needs Oliver to
babysit her three current little ones while she's in the hospital. Oliver
soon finds that minding children is a difficult job. Young readers will be
amused by Oliver’s adventures and mishaps. There’s a lovely ending and some
valuable lessons for children.
In Smoke Over the Sea, Oliver finds
that someone is sending SOS smoke signals. As usual, Oliver and his friends are
quickly willing to help out. When things don’t exactly turn out as expected,
Oliver uses his smarts and ingenuity to save the day.
In Raindrop, readers follow an
imaginative story about Droppy the raindrop and her friends. There’s some
wonderful kid-friendly science lessons at play here!
As always, I enjoyed these three new
Oliver and Jumpy stories. Werner Stejskal continues to write wonderfully
engaging, clever and educational books for children. I’m always so impressed by
the detailed and gorgeous illustrations too. I highly recommend the Oliver and
Jumpy series of books for children, parents, grandparents and caregivers.
