My rating: 5 adventurous stars!


I am always in search for good children's books, for children of all ages, since I take part in read-alouds for groups of children in between 3 and 13 years. When my turn comes to read to the little ones I must be sure to have a few good stories at hand to share.

In yesterday's read-aloud time for the group of 3 to 6 year old, I chose to talk about Oliver and Jumpy, Introduction to the Series after our main read.

When you read to a group of little ones, you are never sure how they will react or receive the story. Some instantly get bored, others fidget, and the tale needs to have all sorts of great stuff and adventure in it to hold them in place. Great pictures are a must too! Everyone knows that! :)

Oliver and Jumpy was a success! Everyone loved them!

The great pictures of the book instantly appealed to my little troupe and they all wanted to know more!
When did they build the snowman together?!
What trouble was there on the Monkey Island?!
How is a snow ball fight with ice cream?!
I want to know about the rescued dog!!!
and above all..
Ohh!! A little Dino!! He's so cute!!! I wanna know about the Dino!!!

I'll be grabbing a volume of Oliver and Jumpy for this evening's read-aloud, (hopefully I'll get the one with the little Dino :D) and my little troupe of adventurers and I will embark on a new awesome journey with our new found friends!

If you have little adventurers of your own at home, this might be just the right series to make them happy! I'll be telling you about our journey through it as we tackle one adventure at a time!
Happy reading! :)
