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. Depending on your device, there is pop-up text
(at Amazon) or audio available. Several talented illustrators are essential to
bring these children's stories to you in quick succession. Love you all! Meow!

kidnapped.
Story 5: Fairy Castle - The fairy queen
invites our friends.
Story 6: Treasure Hunt – A secret
treasure map is inviting to a memorable hike.
Book Links
With three
completely different stories, in three different places in the world Oliver and
Jumpy will take your child on fun adventures where they will learn lessons that
will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Some lessons are purely
educational, like camels are often called “ships of the desert”. Other lessons
are life lessons such as learning to be sure to “put your priorities in the
right order”. Everything is done in a fun and entertaining way.
The pictures are
clear, colourful and sometimes funny. But then, so is our elegant cat Oliver.
You’ll also learn the British words for soother and diaper as they are used by
Oliver.
Oliver also likes to
try his hand at poetry so there is usually a poem or two in each of the
stories. Sometimes they work out great, sometimes the metre or rhyme is a bit
off.
Young children will
love the stories which will stir their imaginations and creativity. I’m sure
these stories will spur them to thinking of other things that Oliver and Jumpy
might get themselves mixed up in. I would highly recommend Oliver and Jumpy, Stories 4-6. I rated this book 5 stars out of 5.

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.
