Oliver and Jumpy, Stories 49-51

Animals make delightful stories for young readers. OLIVER AND JUMPY, Stories 49-51, by Author Werner Stejskal, are no exception. I haven’t read the previous stories, so I can’t comment about them, but these three stories are fun and should keep children entertained for hours.

In ICE, story 49, it’s winter and ice skating time. Oliver and his friends are skating on the frozen lake when Joey the Kangaroo gets in trouble and Oliver tries to help him. To add to their problem, a polar bear spots them and the bear sure looks hungry. What will Oliver and Joey do?

MICE CHASE, story 50, is the story of a cat and a mouse that are friends. My two cats like to chase mice, but not because they want to be friends. Anyhow, in this story Mausi, the mouse whose wife has just had six babies, asks Oliver for a favor. Can you guess what the favor is?

Story 51, DRAGON HEAT, has a dragon in it, of course, and most kids love dragons, right? This dragon has a problem with fire, and you’ll want to read the story to discover what happens to the dragon.

The illustrations by Maycee Ann Reyes are colorful, adorable, and child friendly. These books would make a nice addition to school libraries, classrooms, and your own library. So snuggle with your young ones and enjoy some good reads.
