Oscar and the CATastrophe

Sam's Mum's ring has gone missing and Sam is determined to get the ring back before his Mum's birthday but will he? This is a really funny book with a good bit of mystery to solve. I really enjoyed reading it.

Guess what?... Sam has a talking dog called Oscar!! But what happens when Mrs Bentley-Wallop moves in next door with her cat? Mysterious happenings start- Oscar is being framed! It is up to Oscar and Sam to prove them wrong.

Also Sam Mum's ring has gone missing. Sam is determinded to get the ring back before his Mums birthday but will he??

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. A funny and entertaining read.

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. I would recommend this book to friends as I think they would like reading it.

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! Also really enjoyed Sarah Horne’s illustrations.

A delightful story and a beautifully illustrated book!

This book has a delightful start as the strong-minded Oscar returns with his boy Sam for another adventure. A new neighbour moves in as a spurt of burglaries take place. With poor Oscar taking the blame it’s up to the clever dog, Sam and his friends to work out what’s really going on. This is a brilliant read that I think would be perfect for readers aged 5-7.

Amatullah loved this book! She kept giggling at all the funny bits. I couldn’t wait to read it after her.

Oscar the talking dog is back with his human owner, Sam. In the third book of the series, Oscar has a new neighbour, Mrs Bentley-Wallop who dislikes dog. But even worse, she has an uppity cat named Carmen who most definitely HATES dogs. The trouble starts when Sam’s Mum loses her ruby ring. They also find out there have been burglaries in the area recently. And when Carmen the cat acts suspiciously Sam and Oscar are hot on the trail.

Amatullah loved this book! She kept giggling at all the funny bits. I couldn’t wait to read it after her. I think this book was funnier than the first one (we haven’t read the second one yet) and we found the first one hilarious! This is a perfect chapter book both for beginner and confident readers. Once again we loved Sarah Worn’s illustrations. They add more humour to this already great book.
