Amazon Synopsis:

These illustrated cat stories are all about “Oliver and
Jumpy”, who are best of friends and experience many adventures together. Oliver
is an elegant black tomcat, who is full of himself. As a matter of fact he
says: “I love myself!” quite often. Naughty, isn’t he? But his best friend
Jumpy, a kangaroo lady, is aware that it is only a front! Oliver has a soft
heart and will always want to help others. The great thing is Jumpy’s pouch,
which Oliver loves to ride in! He calls her his kangaroo taxi! These little
bedtime stories with their lovely illustrations are great for small kids. A
parent can read the text and tell the child in his own words. These animal stories
have sufficient text to keep early readers happy and provide some educational
value.

children's stories to you in quick succession. Love you all! Meow! Check out the Free INTRODUCTION TO

My Thoughts:
The Oliver and Jumpy Stories come is sets of
three. In the first story Molly the Mole,
Oliver is introduced to us as an elegant cat who is a little bit full of
himself and tells us of his friend Jumpy who allows him to ride around in his
pocket. They make a new friend.
In the second story,
Saving Ducky, Jumpy saves a duckling from
an eagle, and in story 3, Jumpy’s Secret,
Jumpy tells Oliver why he can’t ride in her pouch anymore. He’s very
excited.
The stories are
perfect for young children. There is no violence, and in fact while Oliver does
chase mice, he does not eat birds or mice because he is allergic to them. He
always lets them go. To him it is just a game.
The illustrations
are bright and cheerful and should be very enticing to children. The stories are
interesting and would be perfect as bedtime stories. Depending on the
electronic device you are using to read your book you may have pop-up text or
audio available. Several of the books are available on YouTube with the author
reading the stories as well.
I thought that the
stories were very well done and suitable for young children. I would recommend
parents to check out these stories. I think you will like them for your
children. I gave them 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
author for providing the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive
opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
About the Author:
Born in Vienna, Austria, Werner is now
living in the paradise of Perth, Australia with his wife, two married children
and three grandchildren. He worked many years in the printing industry and
later for the United Nations in Vienna. His wife had been a pen-friend, whom
Werner visited in Hong Kong and finally got married to. After an eventful life,
now retired, he began to write children's stories, had them illustrated through
Odesk, narrated them himself for YouTube and finally published the ebooks on
most platforms. Werner's dream is to see "Oliver and Jumpy" animated
as a TV series.
There are lots of fairy tales and bedtime stories around and many of them quite violent. This made Werner decide to write something different. On a flight from Europe to Australia he watched the movie Magic on Belle Island with Morgan Freeman, where Freeman teaches a little girl to have imagination and write her first story. This inspired Werner as well and the first stories with his two characters Oliver, the elegant tomcat, and Jumpy, his kangaroo lady friend, made their appearance. Some very capable illustrators have helped to create this picture book series.
