Oliver and Jumpy 22-24 by Werner Stejskal

      Oliver and Jumpy love to explore and have fun. They are the greatest of friends and enjoy sharing their stories with children.  Three new stories are in this book. First, The Incredible Train Journey. Second, Hiccup and third, Fishing. Let's see what they are up to now.
      Joey, Jumpy and Oliver experience their first train trip.  They are all excited and can't wait to see where they'd go.  Through the countryside, in a tunnel and up a hill.  Swooshing down through the valley and straight under water.  They go to the beach and even see Icyland.  What a journey for them.
      Hiccups are strange, aren't they? Oliver has the hiccups and can't get rid of them.  He knows birds in the mountains have a cure.  Oliver climbs up the mountain and pretends to be a baby bird to get the cure. After three days, they are gone and Oliver heads back home. 
      Fishing is so much fun!  Oliver is having Joey over for breakfast and then they will go fishing.  A Pelican stops by with breakfast and Oliver sets the table.  Since Kangaroos can't climb trees, they use a trampoline near Oliver's house.  After having breakfast, they go fishing and catch one big enough to feed them all.

      I love how fun this series is. You just never know what Oliver and Jumpy are gonna do next.  We can all learn from them too.  Mr. Stejskal writes with a style that draws little ones in.  The illustrations keep the child focused on the story.  So many adventures to have and so much fun to share. These will be your child's favorite book in no time.  It's a must for little ones library's.  You won't be disappointed.

      I found no issues.

      I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because each adventure is better than the last.
