When a little girl finds a stray cat and leaves him with the country vet, Herriot and his wife fall in love with him and name him Oscar. But the cat keeps sneaking away, and they don't know why--until he begins turning up at social events all over the village. It seems Oscar is just a cat who likes to visit: a cat-about-town. Color illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Cat lovers, take note!,
By Laurie (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oscar, Cat-About-Town (Paperback)
Warm, homey illustrations that almost seem to glow are paired nicely with the sweet storyline. As always, James Herriott knows his animals, and can capture their essence on paper. I have known cats like Oscar, who is most definitely a "people" cat--he loves to be in the thick of things!--and reading Oscar's story was like a touch of nostalgia. If your little one loves animals, do get them this book. I have a hunch they'll like it.

Oscar, Cat-About-Town,
By "red_skittr" (wyoming) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oscar, Cat-About-Town (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think that anyone who reads this will feel more comfortable in nowing that many people may love them and that it is okay to have more than one "family." Many love you just the same and they can care for you in their own special way. I think Oscar is unique and even though this is just a book I respect the characters.
