OLIVER the OIL-PUMP is a fully illustrated children's book for the young at heart... and 7-14 year olds.
An ideal goodnight book for the younger!.
OLIVER is the story of a little oil pump sent off to Indonesia to pump oil out of the ground. He is different from other pumps - not only can he talk but he loves making friends.
The story takes him from the factory where he was made in the USA, by train, container ship and a barge pulled by a tugboat, then by truck to an oilfield on Sumatra.
Finally located deep in the jungle, he meets all manner of animals - elephants, a tiger and a cobra, birds and a mischievous monkey.
For years, he happily pumps oil and entertains his friends until one day it all changes ... fire threatens.
