I worked many years in the printing industry and later for the United Nations in Vienna. My wife had been a pen-friend, whom I visited in Hong Kong and finally got married to. After an eventful life, finally retired, I began to write children's stories, had them illustrated through Odesk, narrated them myself for YouTube and finally published the ebooks on most platforms. I will publish 20 books with three stories each in English, before translating into several other languages. My dream is to see "Oliver and Jumpy" animated as a TV series.

The amusing animal characters in this quirky set of tales should absorb and enchant young children.
Oliver, a cat who likes to wear a top hat, is the narrator. He is friends with a lady kangaroo called Jumpy and we also meet some other creatures such as a fox, a koala and meercats.
In the first short tale a young fox who has been naughty is sent to his room and throws a message in a bottle into the river. The message is found by our friends who think Foxy needs help.
We also find out how Oliver met Jumpy and helped her, becoming her friend. In another tale the friends enter a magic world and find that a witch has cast harmful spells on people.
The pictures are clear and vocabulary good. I am sure preschool kids would enjoy learning to read the adventures.

Oliver and Jumpy: Stories 28-30 (Oliver & Jumpy, the Cat Series Book 10): Bedtime stories with a cat & a kangaroo, written by Warner Stejskal. I gave these stories five stars.
These are fun to read children's stories for ages one to ten. Oliver is a tomcat & Jumpy, the kangaroo is his best friend.
Story 28: Letter in a Bottle written by Warner Stejskal & illustrated by Vinil Raj is where Foxy was being punished by being sent to his room for sweeping crumbs under the rug. He wrote a note & placed it into a bottle plugged with chewing gum & threw it into a river. Oliver, Joey & Jumpy found the bottle with the note where he described being held prisoner.
They came to rescue him & discovered it was only a prank. They had tea with him after Foxy's mother invited them in to the house.
Story 29: Oliver Meeting Jumpy written by Werner Stejskal. Oliver & some of his friends went on a safari looking for a rare flower which could be used for brewing tea & was good against a cough.
They found a kangaroo with a broken leg. They made Oliver made a splint with tree branches. They made a sleigh & took her to the hospital. After her leg was mended, Oliver took rides in her pouch. Even though it wasn't a great start, they became good friends.
Story 30: Enchanted Forest written by Werner Stejskal & illustrated by Anahil Aleksanyan is a good introduction to the characters. Jumpy has a son, Joey. They decided to visit Ghost Castle. There were tales of it being haunted but they were not afraid. They passed through a rotten door & discovered a green enchanted forest. The trees had been soldier before Cassandra the witch put a spell on them. Oliver took out his magic wand & they resumed their former shapes as meerkat soldiers.
They met the witch Cassandra who was ready to turn Oliver, Jumpy & Joey into frogs. They had the many meerkat soldiers overcome her & take away her magic wand. They turned her into a donkey who now had to carry the gear for the army as a payback for all the time they had spent as trees.
They found other creatures that Cassandra had bewitched & also returned them to their former shapes. Then they had a celebration.
I received a free kindle copy from Amazon in exchange for a fair review. That did not influence my opinion.

I have read and enjoyed quite a few books of The Oliver and Jumpy Series. The question crossed my mind as to how an elegant cat like Oliver might have come in contact with a female kangaroo. The second story in this trilogy finally answered that question.
In the first story readers meet Foxy, a mischievous young fox who is always in trouble with his mother. She catches him sweeping his food crumbs under the rug. He is sent to his room to write an essay on how to behave. Instead Foxy creates an elaborate hoax that he has been kidnapped and imprisoned. Placing the note in a bottle, he heaves it out the window into the river. Can you guess who finds it? Do Oliver and Jumpy rescue him or will Foxy get into more trouble?
The second story goes back in time to a day when Oliver and his friends go a trip to find a rare flower. They find Jumpy lying under a tree with a broken leg. Oliver and his animal friends rescue Jumpy. Soon a wonderful friendship develops out of the mishap.
The third story is perfect for Halloween. Oliver, Jumpy and baby Joey decide to visit a deserted castle that is rumored to be haunted. Upon entering, they are surprised to find a dark forest within its doors. They discover trees that speak and a witch who lives beyond the forest. What do you think happens when the witch threatens the trio? You will be surprised at the results.
The illustrations are amazing; they do an excellent job of telling the story for younger readers. As with the other books in the series, the stories make excellent read alouds or bedtime stories. Recommended for children up to age eight.

February 18, 2016I am a huge fan of Oliver and Jumpy. The unlikely duo of a top hat wearing cat and a kangaroo is just a fun combination. It gives a great message to kids that friends come in all shapes and sizes. The stories are fun, whimsical and are accompanied with beautifully colored illustrations that are brightly colored and mesh perfectly with the feel of the stories. I think my favorite of this trio was the story of how Oliver and Jumpy met! There are always great life lessons to be learned from the stories, in this one, the author tells kids that “sometimes good things can come from something bad” after showing how Oliver met Jumpy hurt on the side of the road and helped her get to the hospital. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Here are three more stories from this excellent author for young children. Each story in this book was illustrated by a different illustrator.
Letter in a Bottle
Foxy had been naughty and sent to his room to write an essay about how to improve himself. Instead he wrote a note requesting help, describing where he was, sealed it in a bottle and tossed it in the river outside his window. Oliver, Jumpy and Joey discovered it and went to rescue the kidnapped prisoner only to discover it was Foxy’s latest prank.
I liked this story and how Foxy got caught doing something that most children get caught at doing. It might not be sweeping crumbs under the carpet, but it may be some other shortcut.
I liked the illustrations which were clear and crisp and very similar to the illustrations in other Oliver and Jumpy stories which have been done by other illustrators.
Oliver Meets Jumpy
This was a good story because it fills in some of the information for long-time followers of Oliver and Jumpy. We know a lot about Oliver, Jumpy and Joey, but this is the first time we have heard about how two such unlikely animals ever became such good friends.
The illustrations were obviously done by a different illustrator in this story who had a little heavier hand in the outlining of the characters. There is nothing wrong with the quality of his work, but it is noticeably different from some of the other illustrators that I have become accustomed to seeing illustrating the Oliver and Jumpy Stories.
I particularly liked this story for its message: sometimes good things can come from bad things. I think it is important for us to help children look for positive things amongst all the negative things we see around us or we will become very negative ourselves. It is an important lesson.
Enchanted Forest
Oliver and Jumpy visit Ghost Castle and enter a room in which there is an enchanted forest. The trees can talk because they were soldiers that were turned into trees by a witch. Oliver casts his own spells with his own wand to turn them back and then fights with the witch. Afterwards he frees the remaining animals in captivity.
This was not my favourite story as I do not care for stories about witches and witchcraft. That being said, I did like that Oliver was willing to go out of his way to help others in need.
This author’s illustrations have the same feel to them as the illustrations from the earlier Oliver and Jumpy Stories books.
The pictures in all the stories in this series of books are always engaging for the young reader with lots of clues as to what is happening in the story.
I think young children will enjoy having these stories read to them and older children with some reading skills will enjoy being able to read the books to themselves (although there are a few words that will be beyond the young readers vocabulary). I gave this book a rating of 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.

Oliver and Jumpy are at it again. They love to go on adventures and share their stories with us. They seem to be able to do most anything and they make friends while doing it. As is the format, there are three stories included in each book. The first one is Letter In A Bottle. The second is Oliver Meeting Jumpy and the third is Enchanted Forest.
Story 28 Foxy had been naughty again. His mother tells him to write an essay about how to better himself. Bored and looking for fun, Foxy writes a note asking for help. He says in the note he's being treated badly. Foxy puts the note in a bottle and throws it into the stream near his window. What happens next?
Story 29 is when Oliver meets Jumpy for the first time. Oliver and friends go on safari. They are looking for rare flowers. As they look for them, they hear a call for help. They find Jumpy and rescue her. They take her to the doctor. That's how they became great friends.
Story 30 there is a castle on top of a hill. It's very old. Oliver and Jumpy decide to explore. They find the doorway to another world. A witch put a spell on all of the soldiers and now they were trees. Oliver uses his magic wand to change them back. Will the witch be upset?
This is a favorite series of mine. Each one is just the right size for nap time or bedtime. The illustrations are colorful and engaging. The main reason I love this series is because it teaches a lesson. We all know kids learn better if it's fun. Well written with even the youngest child in mind, you can't go wrong by adding these to your child's library. I know your child will ask you to read them again and again.
I found no issues.
I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's perfect for little ones. ~Copy of book provided by author in exchange for a fair review~

The latest stories about tomcat Oliver and his gal-pal Jumpy are (as usual) a mixed bag. To add to the fun, each of these three is illustrated by a different artist. Why? No one knows but their creator. Maybe he's just trying to see if we're paying attention.
In the first story, we meet a young gentleman who bears a close resemblance to Jumpy's mischievous son Joey. Like Joey, Foxy gets into trouble with HIS mom (what boy doesn't?) and only some shrewd detective work (and expert climbing) by Uncle Oliver straightens things out.
The second story takes us back to the beginnings of the friendship between Oliver and Jumpy. Jumpy is (apparently) a single lady at the time and she loses an argument with a mole hole. It's Oliver to the rescue and a lasting bond is formed.
The third story ("Enchanted Forest") is the best and most beautifully illustrated for my money. It involves a scary old castle which is supposed to be haunted and VERY DANGEROUS. So, naturally, Oliver, Jumpy, and Joey have to investigate. It's a fine story.
The books in this series are fun for the kid who's listening and for the adult who's reading. The characters are believable and the situations are wildly imaginative but very similar in some ways to every-day life. They are stories to read and discuss. What could be better?

A joy to read
If you know the Oliver and Jumpy stories, you will know that they are full of silliness and lessons to share with your child. "Letter in a Bottle" introduces Foxy, a creative and sly fox. When he gets in trouble, he writes a letter and puts it into a bottle. What does it say and who finds it? Let's just say that Oliver and Jumpy help Foxy learn about being careful when sharing some of his creative stories. "Oliver Meeting Jumpy" takes readers back to the beginning of the duo's friendship. It's a good flashback that shares the caring characteristics of the two. In fact, it was luck that brought the two together. As for "Enchanted Forest", Oliver, Jumpy, and Joey has entered an enchanted forest. A witch has changed creatures into other things, like trees that can talk. Luckily for them, Oliver and Jumpy have been practicing their magic skills (see previous books in the series for those stories) and the ending is happy.
Each time my daughter and I read the Oliver and Jumpy books, it gives us a lot to talk about regarding character, behavior, and such. She loves the silliness and colorful illustrations. I love the creative, fresh story lines.

"Wonderful and Fun Children Stories"
Kids really enjoy all the stories of Oliver, the handsome black and white cat, and Jumpy, his friend the kangaroo mom and boy, Joey. "Letter In A Bottle," is about Foxy being naughty and getting into trouble with his mom. Today he brushes his crumbs under the carpet rather than putting the crumbs in the trash. This is really funny! Once in trouble, always in trouble! The next story is how "Oliver Meets Jumpy" for the first time. It is in the outback and Jumpy is found crying with a broken leg. We are so happy that Oliver saves her for all the fun adventures they share together. In "The Enchanted Forest, " which is over the hill and across the lake, stands an old castle, crumbly and spooky. But Oliver, Jumpy, and little Joey have no fear. They enter the castle, and then go through another door which opens to a big forest with mean looking trees. The trees share their stories of the witch who turned soldiers into these trees. Spooky? Yes! It's a good thing Oliver has his magic wand! These are the best stories ever, always getting more fun for kids to enjoy the adventures. Highly recommend these well-crafted tales.

Even though they’re intended for young readers, I’ve found myself enthralled by Werner Stejskal’s Oliver and Jumpy stories. Oliver and Jumpy, Stories 28-30 continue the tradition of the enchanting adventures of Oliver, the elegant cat, and his friend, Jumpy the Kangaroo. In this series, readers learn how Oliver and Jumpy first met. In story 28, Letter in a Bottle, Joey, Jumpy’s son, wants to free a prisoner who has sent an SOS in a bottle. In No. 29, we learn how Oliver first met Jumpy and began their adventures, and in the final story, Enchanted Forest, Oliver and his friends fight a witch in a magic castle.
The stories, along with the illustrations, are great for reading to youngsters, or for first readers to learn words on their own. My grandchildren continue to be captivated by Oliver’s escapades.

"Oliver and Jumpy, Stories 28-30 (Oliver and Jumpy, the Cat Series) by Werner Stejskal is a read alone book. If you have not read any of the previous books, Stories 1-27, I recommend them because each one is unique. You don't have to read any of the previous books to understand what is happening in this series. Each story has a moral to the story and is perfect for young children 6-10 reading alone or 5 and under with adult help. Story 28: Letter in a Bottle (kind of like the boy who cried wolf), Story 29: Meeting Jumpy (when Oliver and Jumpy 1st met), and Story 30: Enchanted Forest ( a surprise meets our group beyond the gate involving a witch.)

Oliver and Jumpy are a special pair. They are great friends who go on many adventures together. This book shares with us three of those amazing adventures.
Included in this one was the story of how these two met and became fast friends. Each story is entertaining and the pictures are great. It reminds me of watching a cartoon that is split up into several different short stories with the same characters.
Each story is the perfect length to keep the attention span of even the youngest, most inquisitive minds. My only warning about this is once you read one story you will probably have a little one begging for more. The great thing is there are plenty of adventures to choose from.

REVIEW BY: Angelina, age 9 years, 1 month
MAY CONTAIN SPOILER:
This book of short stories was so good, I laughed a lot!
This book has a couple of short stories in it. One of the stories is about a fox that is supposed to sweep the crumbs off of the floor, but instead swept the crumbs under the rug. His mom saw what he did and made him write an essay on what he could do better. He wrote it and the other animals found out about it. Another story was about how the two main characters met when they were little.

Fun Adventures with Oliver ad Jumpy!
Oliver and Jumpy, Stories 28-30, #28 is about a lazy boy who doesn't want to help his mother, #29 - the first time that Oliver met Jumpy, and the last story, #30, is about a witch who puts spells on many creatures and traps them in an enchanted forest.
Each story is creatively written with charming details to the beautiful illustrations which I am sure children will love. Children will enjoy being entertained by Oliver's and Jumpy's adventures. I would highly recommend all this talented author's books.

As I read the adventures of Oliver and Jumpy, I can't help but wish this series was created fifteen years earlier. My kids would have loved this crazy world with all the fun characters, beautiful colors, and awesome adventures. When they were young, my kids enjoyed watching Teletubbies and Dora. I know for a fact they would have had a blast with Oliver and Jumpy. At least it's nice to see that this new generation will have great books to enjoy as they grow up. Great books like the Oliver and Jumpy series.
