I enjoyed this book. It was funny and exciting to read and I liked reading on to solve the mystery. There are short chapters and quite a lot of pictures through the story. There are two other books in this series which I haven't read but I would like to now.... Read Full Review
A great book about a talking dog, his owner, some cats, a robbery and a surprise ending to the mystery. Definitely worth a read!
I thought it was a good book because it was about a talking dog, and I like dogs. The dog, Oscar, doesn't like cats and his new next-door neighbour loves cats and has lots of them. In the story, there is a robbery in town and at one point it looks like Oscar might be guilty! This is a mystery book with a surprise ending.... Read Full Review
A hilarious book with lots of scope for voices when you read aloud. My 5-year-old laughed a lot.
Edith really enjoyed this fun book. We read a chapter every night while we were on holiday. Mrs Bentley Wallop was our favourite character and we had lots of fun doing impressions of her. We hadn’t read the other two Oscar books but this wasn’t a problem. The storyline was great and very funny. We both loved the relationship between Sam and Oscar… I even found Edith talking to our dog Alfie the other day!... Read Full Review
